Can deduction be claimed in that case?

Hi,

My uncle invested in 3 year lock-in mutual funds for tax benefit. He bought the mutual fund in the name of his son. He made the payment from his account.

In that case, can he claim deduction under Section 80C? Or as the mutual funds are in his son's name, it is the son who can claim the deduction?

Please let me know.

I doubt mr jones that you can claim deduction u/s 80C. Son cannot claim that is for sure.

As per s 80C the individual who has invested in ELSS can only himself claim deduction.

Had it be life insuramce policy then deduction u/s 80C u could have claimed. Refer S 80C(4)

The benefit of S 80C(4) is not extended to ELSS. 

NO question arises that father is dependent or not dependent, deduction cannot be claimed.
