Rebate on Late fee paid for Life Insurance Premium

Under sec 80C amount paid as life Insurance Premium is eligible for IT rebate. I have a query last year, I have reinstate some of my Life Insurance Policies. For these I have paid some penalty/ late fee.
Whether the late fee paid above for keeping the policy in force can be claimed for Income Tax rebate.

You cannot take claim of any penalty/ late fee under section 80C.

As already said the late fee, penalty or reinstatement fee etc. would not be part of sec 80 C claim.
