No, the employer contribution to NPS (National Pension System) does not come under the 80C limit of 1.5 lakhs. It is covered under a separate section of the Income Tax Act, which is 80CCD(2).

Under this section, an individual can claim a deduction for the contribution made by their employer towards their NPS account, subject to certain conditions. The maximum deduction allowed under this section is 10% of the employee's basic salary plus dearness allowance (DA).
