25 August 2009LIC payment qualifies for 80C deduction. I want to know whether the amount should be actually paid by the assessee. Suppose father paid the LICof his Son, Who will get the deduction whether father or son ? Since son has not made his LIC payment will he lose out on 80C deduction in computation of his income?

For claiming deduction u/s 80C, Policy can be taken in the name of individual, spouse, or any child (whether dependent, independent, married or unmarried). So deduction can be claimed by father.

I agree with Pragati Singhal. Please note that any Life Insurance premium paid by son on life of his parents whether dependent or not is not deductible under section 80C. On the contrary, Father can claim deduction under that section for LIP paid on life of himself, his spouse & children whether or not they are dependent.

deduction can only be claimed by person who pays the LIC, benefit can be claimed if paid for self,spouse or children.
so,the father can claim the benefit inspite of dat if son pays for father he can't claim d benefit bcoz benefit not available on life of parents.
