a)If I take a family floater health insurance policy can the husband and wife split the said premium for the single health family floater health insurance.

b) Both individuals will be issued separate tax certificates basis the respective premiums paid by us.

Dear Sanjay

Theoretically it is possible but require lot of explanation because have common receipt .

My advise is given below :

Pay premium through two cheques for example premium is rs 50000 then pay two cheques of rs 25000 each from husband and wife account .
As you shall give two cheques hence can get receipt with mention of both cheques .
Moreover , your bank statement would have debit to insurance .

You can always claim tax rebate under section 80 D by showing bank debit and common receipt .
