21 February 2011 Rs 8000/-

Actual amount of premium deposited or 20% of sum assured which ever is less shall qualify for deduction u/s 80C.

21 February 2011 Deduction for LIC Premium u/s 80C is available on payment basis subject to Max of 20% of Sum Assured. So you will get the deduction of Rs 8000/- only in respect of previous year in which payment was made.

"but according to my lic agent i can claim 8000/- per year for 5 years" He is wrong. Think logically you are paying Rs 30000/- then how can you claim (8000*5)= Rs 40000/- as deduction u/s 80C.

21 February 2011 Yes if you had paid Rs 6000 every year then you could have claimed Rs 6000 per year for 5 years as deduction u/s 80C.
But in this case you can claim only Rs 8000/-

22 February 2011 Yes. LIC premium deduction is available irrespective of whether paid in cash or by cheque. Only if medical insurance premium is paid in cash the deduction is not granted u/s 80D.
