in my opinion, he can bcoz no where the place of payment has been specified in the aforesaid sections
as per sub-section 5 of sec 80D, insurance policy shall be:

a) in accordance with the scheme of General Insurance Corporation of India or

b) a scheme of any other insurer, but approved by IRDA (Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India)

so, necessary to check whether the policies taken in foreign country would satisfy either of these
