Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies the National Pension System (NPS) deduction limits under Indian tax law. It confirms that the ₹50,000 deduction allowed under Section 80CCD(1B) is separate from and in addition to the 10% of salary limit under Section 80CCD(1). This means individuals can potentially claim deductions for investments exceeding the standard 80C limit, provided the 80CCD(1) portion stays within the overall 80C ceiling.

Yes, you are right.              

Suppose,
Salary = 14,00,000
Deduction allowed under 80 CCD(1) = 1,40,000
Amount invested in NPS 1,70,000
Assessee claims both 80CCD(1) and 80CCD(1B)
The whole amount 1,70,000 is allowed as deduction. Right?

Yes, right. Just ensure that the 80ccd(1) is within the 80c limit of ₹1.5 lacs.

Yes, Rs. 50,000 is the additional NPS deduction allowed u/s 80CCD(1B)
