Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies eligibility for the Section 80CCD(1B) deduction, which allows an additional claim of up to £50,000 for contributions to the National Pension System (NPS) Tier-I account. Even if your 80C, 80CCC, and 80CCD(1) deductions have reached the £1.5 lakh limit under Section 80CCE, you can still claim this extra £50,000. This means a total deduction of up to £2 lakh is possible.
80CCE: Limit on deductions u/s 80C, 80CCC & 80CCD(1): Agregate amount of 1.50 lakh
So, as per given amounts, it comes to 1,55,952. So, it will be restricted to 1.5 lakh
Further, 80CCD(1B) is additional deduction of upto 50k for deposit in NPS A/c (Tier-I), irrespective of 80CCD(1) and it is not subject to 80CCE Hence, he can claim 40k.
Therefore, total deduction would be 1.5 lakh + 40k = 1.90 lakh
