19 June 2015 No, your brother is not eligible to claim deduction.
This deduction in respect of school fees is covered under Section 80C of the I-T Act. A parent can claim a deduction of payment made for tuition fee to any university, college, school or any other educational institution.
Even if assessee has paid tuition fees for his own studies, he will not be eligible for deduction.

19 June 2015 Yes this provision is there. In my opinion unless otherwise legal paperwork is done, this deduction cannot be claimed.

If you want to claim; you can claim deduction; but if AO demands for proof then you must provide legal documents for adoption of child
