hi friend, 'X' can VERY WELL take benefit of LIC policy U/s 80 C (Inclusive of LIC issued at his Spouse name) if his spouse has not availed the same... its absolutely a proper tax planning

Mr. X, assessee can take benefit under section 80C for the lic premium paid of his spouse. But one should know that the premum must be paid (whether in cash or cheque ) by Mr. X only and in subsequent years olso. you may contant me at parekh @ yahoo.co.in with regards
