02 August 2013 It is a deduction for investment. The main point of consideration is the financial year in which investment was made by paying the premium. So deduction u/s 80C can be claimed in the Income Tax Return of the Financial Year in which the premium was paid.

So in the given case deduction u/s 80C can be claimed in the return of FY 2013-14 i.e., AY 2014-15.
