26 July 2010 80 D IS ALLOWED UP TO RS 15000 BECAUSE IT IS AVAILAIBLE FOR THE PAYMENTS OF PARENTS WETHER PARENT IS DEPENDENT OR INDEPENDENT HOWEVER IF PARENT IS SENIOR CITIZEN RESIDENT THEN IT IS ALLOWED UP TO 20000 SO A CAN CLAIM

26 July 2010 Just answering the query more appropriately.

Deduction u/s 80D is available on pymt of premium. Whether the insurance claim is received or not during the year does not effect the availability of deduction.
