The limit specified in 80CCE restricting the deduction to Rs. 1,50,000/- applies only to 80C, 80CCC & 80CCD(1). The deduction of Rs. 50,000 is specified in 80CCD(1B). Thus it is outside the limit of Rs. 1,50,000/-. So you can avail your contribution to the extent of Rs. 50,000/- separately under 80CCD(1B)
