09 April 2014 Dear expert,
I have paid lic premium of my FRIEND of Rs. 25221 through internet banking from my a/c.
Then my friend gave me cash.
Can my friend take deduction u/s 80C.

09 April 2014 Yes, because premium payment need not be from the income of the insured.

09 April 2014 Yes Vishal ur friend can claim deduction u/s 80C. But I suggest that ur friend must not shown cash payment to u of Rs. 25221/- in a single day. Ur friend can break up the amount and show it in 2 different days, otherwise the whole amount will b disallowed.

09 April 2014 I think it is not cash expense so it will be not disallowed.
But if we deem it loan then my friend can not pay me a cash above Rs. 20000 in one financial year.
