    Dear Bharat Shah, In my view the section 80D merely asks to pay the prem. & it does not ask who is the policy proposer. So for the given case, although the father is the proposer himself, still if the prem. is paid by the son from son’s own account, he may claim additional tax benefit meant for parents’ mediclaim policy apart from son’s own policy.

    Please check the following link for detailed info.
