2. 5000 rupees

3. 1/5th of salary
Entertainment Allowance:

Employees are allowed the lowest of the declared amount one-fifth of basic salary, actual amount received as allowance or Rs. 5,000.

This is an allowance provided to employees to reimburse the expenses incurred on the hospitality of customers.
U must reconfirm if the deduction is against entertainment allowance or the pension amount.

i think 50000 deduction must be against pension amount
