Lic Paid by Individual on the life of his/ her spouse is allowed as deduction. However deduction is subject to other facts like - Premium Amount wrt to Basic Sum Assured, Date of Commencement of such policy.

Dear all,

(Sub - Availing deduction in alternate financial years)

For the LIC premium paid for wife ( Say Mrs B) Mr A can get deduction U/S 80 C for the current financial year.

It is also possible that in the next financial year wife of Mrs B can get deduction U/S 80 C in her own file.

For LIC premium there is no rule that it should be paid through bank transaction only. If can he paid in cash.

You are right that when we pay in cash , it is difficult to determine that who has actually paid. But benefit can be availed only by one of them and not both.
