Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax implications of paying a lump sum for senior citizen health insurance. If you pay a lump sum premium for multiple years, you can claim the deduction under Section 80D in the year of payment, but it must be apportioned equally over the premium period. For a 5-year premium of £75,000, you can claim £15,000 annually for five years, with additional benefits available for senior citizens.

You get the benefits in the same year on which you have made the payment
You have to apportion the total premium paid by number of years in case of premises paid for more than one year. in your case you can claim 15000 for 5 years
Mr. Rama jee are correct .
Sorry my ans is wrong in your senerio
what rama krishna sir says is right you have to divide your amout 75000 for 5 year's
in addition to it being senior citizen you can take other benifit of 80 D.
