Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether investments made after March 31st can be claimed for tax benefits in the 2019-20 financial year. Generally, investments must be made by March 31st to qualify for that fiscal year's tax benefits. While some deadlines were extended to June 30th due to lockdown, this typically applies to payments due before March 31st, not for claiming investments made in the new financial year. Purchasing a child plan in April 2020 means it will be eligible for tax benefits in FY 2020-21, not 2019-20.

No you can take benefit only in F.Y. 2020-21
LIC people are telling that it is possible till 20th June.
Plz Help
As per finance minister says, the date of extension for filling of itr , and gst return till 30/6/2020, it is not clarify by fm regarding extension of date for investment till 30/6/2020
so, it is advisable, to invest till 31/3/2020 for getting tax benefit.
Yes... I agreed to Mr Karan Singh reply and Mr Akshay Poriya view...

@ Mr Sumit Mehta.,

Some of DUE DATE only got extending. Not for financial Year...

As per Your query the CHILD PLAN will be taken by You in April-20 then it's a new plan and it will be claim in FY 20-21 only. It's not available in FY 19-20...


As per lockdown announcements.,
If any of the Investments due fall on or before 31st Mar-20, but no way for paying in lockdown periods then it will be payable on or before 30th Jun-2020...
Note : The investments Due Date will be on or before 31st Mar-20...


Finally as per Your 2nd query.,

LIC people can make receipt date on or before 31st Mar-20. But, I'm not sure. it's only my assumption...

Since you will be purchasing a new Child Plan Policy in April 2020, deduction will not be available for FY 19-20

INVESTMENT IN TAX SAVING INSTRUMENTS

Tax Payers are required to Deposit Amount before 31st March to avail deduction U/s 80C, Now as per Government Relief Measures ta inken the Tax Payers can now avail Deduction U/s 80C for A.Y 2020-21 even if the Amount Deposited before 30th June 2020
