Please help me.......

Can anyone tell me that , (Under Income Tax Act, 1961)

If Postal Life Insurance (PLI) is paid for the period Jan 11 to Jun 11, on 18th January, 2011 then can we claim full deduction u/s 80C of Income Tax Act in the year of payment? (i.e. in FY 2010-11)

OR

3 months premium will be allowed in FY 2010-11 and 3 months premium will be allowed in FY 2011-12?
