Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the tax deduction rules for medical insurance premiums paid for a father-in-law in India. While Section 80D allows deductions for self, parents, and children, it generally does not extend to in-laws. The thread confirms that a spouse can claim deductions for their own or their parents' health insurance, but not for their father-in-law's directly.
Deduction for premium paid on medical insurance is as per sec 80D but for yourself and parents not for in-law but if husband did a health insurance in his name and parents then he get Deduction as per 80D and if his wife did health insurance in her and parents name then also she claimed deduction but not vice-versa parents
