u/s 80C, maximum deduction available is Rs. 1,50,000/- w.e.f. A.Y. 2015-16.
.
What you are talking about is ‘children education allowance’ u/s 10(14)(ii) read with rule 2BB(2), which is exempt upto actual amount received per child or Rs. 100 p.m. per child upto a max. of 2 children, whichever is less.

Thanks Deepakji, I dont get any Children education allowance so that Section 10(14)(ii) isnt applicable. But I do pay more than 150000 as TUITION FEES so I will claim 150000 under 80C.This is my understanding from your answer. I hope I have understood correctly.

Thanks

You can claim deduction as tuition fees under section 80C to the extent of amount paid excluding of any payment made towards any development fees or donation or payment of similar nature.
