30 April 2020 If Your wife take the Insurance and You paid premium amount then You can't get deduction... In case You take Insurance for Your wife's name and also You paid the premium then You can claim deduction...

08 May 2020 If you have purchase the policy for your wife, you can claim the deductions in ITR. However please note that:
a. Contribution towards health insurance plan has to made to a scheme as specified by the Central Govt./ approved by IRDA.
b. Payment should be made by any mode other than cash.

Again if your wife herself purchased the policy for own and only being payment is made by you in that case I would like to request seniors here to guide further on this with reference and circulars on the same.
