Can i claim 80c benefits for 13 premium intallments in a yr

I pay my insurance premium monthly.  Since i was late to pay the premium of March 2014 by 30 days it landed up getting paid in April 2015.  I then caught up with the premium payments as a result of which i have 13 premium payments for 2014-15.  Can i claim the aggregate of 13 months as tax deduction under section 80C or will i be restricted to 12 ?

Thanks

You can claim the actual amount paid during the year as deduction under 80C. Number of installments is not important. The total amount of deduction shall not exceed 150000 in any way.

Deduction is for expenses made from taxable income for the year.

It should not include expenses beyond the period for which return is filed.

hello,

Section 80C allows for deduction only on payment basis.

Premium of march -14 which is paid in April -14 allowed in the current FY.

ensure that premium has been paid before due date under139prov.
