No. 80C contributions such as LIC premium, PF contributions etc can be claimed by the contributer only. They are not transferable.

Dear Avneesh, An Assessee can get benefit of investment of LIC premium of self as well as his wife and his children also under section 80C whether he pay the same or pay by his wife. It will be allowed.

I stand corrected. I agree that under Section 80C (2) read with sub section (4) thereof of the IT Act the LIC premia, contributions to PF set up by the GOI, and unit linked insurance policy premia in respect of the husband and children can be claimed as deductions by the wife.
