recently i came across a notice while making payment for insurance premiums that payments should be made from my own account as per IRDAI guidelines.

How true is that? if i remember correctly previously I made payments from other family members' accounts too.

No offense, OP, but this is pure bullshit! As long as the premium is paid in full, the insurer has to honor the policy, except when there is intentional fraud/concealment by the policyholder.

No. Your assumption is wrong. OP raised a valid question.

If you are filling an ITR in an old regime then you can take  deduction  for wife, husband, kids, father , mother payment.
Doing the same for the last 7-8 years.


In the new itr regime it doesn't matter at all, since deduction is not there. You can pay for anyone.

You can pay for anyone as long as you have reasonable cause to to have someone insured. This will usually cover any relatives. Possibly even close friends/business partners.

Business partners allowed. But friends no. There is no Insurable interest in the case of a friend. My friend dying won't make a difference to me from the insurer's point of view.

You cannot pay from third party

What insurance are you referring to? As long as there is Insurable interest it is allowed. It's clearly written in an insurance proposal form already. But you can't claim tax benefit if someone else paid for you.
