Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether the Tamil Nadu government's contribution to the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) for its employees, which is 10% of Basic + Dearness Allowance and paid into NPS, is eligible for deduction under Section 80CCD(2). The consensus is that it is eligible for deduction as it represents an employer's contribution to NPS on behalf of the employee.

80ccd2 is contribution by employer to NPS on behalf of the employee. In TN govt the CPS amount is paid to NPS. So you are not eligible

Yes, you can avail and you google in incometax deduction web site
