Sir, only percentage of employer's Contribution has been increased to 14% but rules for claiming deduction u/s 80CCD(2) are still mention as :
Deduction towards contribution made by an employer to the Pension Scheme of Central Government
| If Employer is a PSU, State Government or Others |
 |
| Deduction limit of 10% of salary |
|
|
| If Employer is Central Government |
 |
| Deduction limit of 14% of salary |
|
|
My question is-
Q1. Can an employee of a Central Autonomous Body claim deduction u/s 80CCD(2) @ 14% instead of 10%?
(As under the above section it is clearly written as "only Central Government employee can claim deduction for employer's contribution towards NPS @ 14% and others can claim deduction @ 10% only".)
Q2. What is nature of employment of an employees of a Central Autonomous Body ? Are employees of Central Autonomous Bodies considered employees of the Central Government? Or they will come under the category of 'Others' for ITR filing.
