This discussion addresses an issue with claiming the 80CCD(2) deduction for employer contributions to NPS in the ITR-2 Excel utility, particularly for private sector employees. The user found that the deduction is automatically calculated and capped at 10% of the basic salary, requiring a proper breakdown of salary components. It's confirmed that this deduction is applicable for private sector employees when their employer contributes to their NPS account.
