Dear jafar,

 

I doubt he/she can't.

 

Rajesh - would like to know the source of your opinion - it would be a great value add.

Deduction under this section is available for tuition fees paid on two children’s education. If Assessee have more then two children then he can claim tuition fees paid of only two children’s. The Deduction is available for any two children.

however,

 As clause (c ) of subsection 4 of Section 80C only speaks of children’s of Individual. Section 80C is silent on legality of child and it does not say that child should be legal child.

but it is for adapted child

 i think it is not allowed as she is sister of the assessee.
