Tax-saving fixed deposits (FDs) of scheduled banks with tenure of 5 years are entitled for section 80C deduction. So please confirm from the bank whether the deposit is entitled to deduction u/s 80C.

You can't claim deduction since the deposit is not in your name. For full details in this regard ,pl see CBDT Notification 203/2006 dated 28/7/2006.

Sorry i overlooked this aspect...Yes if eligible for deduction, deduction u/s 80C will be available to the person in whose name deposit is made.
