10 February 2022 Yes, it is proposed to be amended retrospective from AY 2020-21...
"The deduction for the state government employees u/s 80CCD would now be at par with central government employees. It is pertinent to note that once the Budget 2022 is ratified into an Act, the said amendment would apply retrospectively from 1st April, 2020 and will accordingly apply in relation to the assessment year 2020-21 and subsequent assessment years."
