Yes, provided you pay the amount, the policy is in your name and your mother is only the beneficiary.

I think the policy itself is in the name of his mother and he is only contributing the premium amount. That is why he wants to know whether he would be able to get the income tax benefit. Obviously, the answer is he will not be entitled to claim income tax benefit in such a case.
