Deductions U/s 80C can be claimed by Individuals and HUFs by making specified qualifying investments, deposits,payments etc and the said investments can be made out of taxable income or non taxable income. So, your boss is entitled to get deduction U/s 80C. However I would suggest you to make such investments from NRO A/C as its interest is taxable. Interest on amount standing to his credit in NRE A/c may be claimed as exempt U/s 10(4)(ii).
