06 October 2012 if policy in the name of parents then you can not claim the deduction u/s 80c

07 October 2012 If the policy is in your name, you can pay the premiums and take the benefit of 80C deduction.

Any amount that you pay for yourself, your spouse or children qualifies for deduction u/s 80C.

But premium paid by you for your parents do not qualify for deduction u/s 80C
