no you can't

Tax saving FDs are non-transferable, and cannot be encashed before its min. term of 5 years.

If tax saver FD is in your name and amount invested is paid through your account, then you can claim the deduction.
You cannot gift this FD as it's in your name and cannot be matured before the lock in period.
In case the FDs is encashed before 5 years, then value of FD shall be deemed to be the income of the year in which it is encashed.

FD s are non transferable. The person in whose name FDs are taken and who is invested in them can claim deduction under section 80C
