1) In first situation father will not get deduction u/s.80 C since the payment is made by cheque by his son.
2)In second case, son can get deduction u/s. 80 C only if his father is dependent on him otherwise not

Thanks Mr. Zala
But as per deductions u/c VI A, its written in LIC premium that if you have paid it for self, spouse and children then deduction u/s 80c for premium paid is allowed, there is no reference of parents(whether dependant or not), so in that case if a son is paying insurance premium for parents then will it be allowed.
Because for sec 80D(mediclaim) parents is clearly written but not for insurance premium.

That means you are agreeing that in my 2nd query no deduction is allowed to any body, neither to parents nor to son.
