07 February 2012 Under section 80C deduction will be available on the payment basis and to the payer. An assessee can claim deduction 80C for LIC premium if paid by him on his name or his spouse name or his children's name. In your case you dad paid your premium through his bank account based on it the premium is by your dad so based on the above provision only your dad get the such deduction of under section 80C.
