21 November 2011 In case of Employer's Contribution to PF
INCOME FROM SALARY:
Employer's Contribution to PF xxx
Less: Exempt u/s 10 xxx

In case of Interest accrued on PPF and NSC
INCOME FROM OTHER SOURCES:
Interest accrued on PPF xxx
Less: Exempt u/s 10 xxx

In case of Interest accrued on NSC
INCOME FROM OTHER SOURCES:

The same amount is claimed as deduction u/s 80C

21 November 2011 it is ok.
PPF interest is fully exempt u/s 10

NSC Interest is taxable income from other source and allowed as deduction u/s 80C

Employer contribution to PF is exempt upto 10% of salary, exceeding part is taxable under the head salaries but exceeding part is not allowed as deduction
