Please help me i am confused

In year 2013-14, I paid fees for my nepew's 1st year MBA which is 80000 out of which 35000 is tution fees. His father was unable to pay the fees as he is agriculturist and not in condition to pay for higher education of his son. Can i claim this fees in education fees of child in 80c as this fee is paid by me in cash and there is no other person to claim this. i am confused, because i am not his natural parent or legal parent but i paid the fee for him and he is living with me only. so can i claim the refund?

Any sum paid as tuition fees to any institution/university/college etc in India for a full-time education of any two children of the individual can be claimed as deduction u/s 80C.

You may not be eligible for this deduction, however, you may prepare some sort of documentation stating that you have financed the education of your nephew, as the guardian, and the parents have consented that may pay the fees and claim deduction for the same.
