    I work in a PSU. My 80C limit of Rs. 1.5 L is already exhausted in PF, LIC contribution. Can I just invest Rs. 50,000/- in NPS and claim the same deduction under 80 CCD(1)b. One interpretation is that I have to invest Rs. 50,000/- over and above of 10% of my salary in NPS to claim deduction of Rs. 50,000/- under 80 CCD(1)b irrespective of my savings in PF, LIC. Please clarify.

    Dear Murari,

    New Subsection 80 CCD(1B) was introduced recently in budget 2015. As per this new subsection additional deduction of 50,000 Rs is provided for any contribution made by individual under NPS. You invest additional amount and claim.
