Quick Summary
You can claim life insurance premiums paid under Section 80C for the current financial year, even if the premium covers the next financial year. The crucial factor for claiming the deduction is the date on the receipt, not the period the premium covers. Therefore, any life insurance premium paid up to March 31st is eligible for the relevant assessment year.

Claim as per receipt date...
Any LIP premium paid upto 31-3-2020 is eligible for 80C for AY 2020-2021 ( irrespective of premium period )

Deductions under section 80C is claimed on receipt basis, irrespective of the period for which the expenditure is claimed.  

You can claim as per the date mentioned on the insurance claim
