Can y wife pay my lic premium and claim 80c deduction ?

Tax queries 5256 views 3 replies

I have a life insurance policy from IDBIFederal. Here I am the insured and the proposer (both me). Me and my wife both are filing ITR. The question is can my wife pay premium for my life insurance policy and claim reduction for herself under section 80C?

I have other policies and has already exhausted the 1.5 lakh limit. So olny my wife can claim 80C benefit (if only she is eligible)

 

The agent says that my wife can pay ONLY IF she was the proposer. But here I am the proposer and he says you can't change the proposer once policy is issued.

And even if she pays...the receipt comes in my name...So what proof can my wife show for this? (that she has paid)

Suggestion of your agent is correct.

No problem... you can claim .. but In future maturity proceeds of LIC will be clubbed with wife's income..
One thing to be kept in mind...is that such premium should be shown in the either of the spouse's returns

hi i have a policy under my spouse's name but i pay the premium can my wife claim it?
