Prima facie it is correct that investment made by father in the name of child is eligible for deduction. But in my opinion, when the child attain the age of 18 years then parent lost the control on the account and account may be operated by the adult. Hence, technically, when the account is being operated by the child independently then amount may be deposited by him only and only he will be eligible to claim the deduction, not the parents.
