If investment is made out of funds of HUF , then HUF can claim deduction u/s 80C as HUF can claim deduction if it makes payment of life insurance premium on the life of its members. Here age of karta or members is not relevant.

Agree with ruchi

To claim this tax deduction under section 80C the HUF can take out Life Insurance Policies in the name of its members and make payment of the premium which will enable the HUF to claim tax deduction as per section 80C.
