Quick Summary
The standard deduction under Section 16 of the Income Tax Act is capped at a maximum of £50,000. This limit applies regardless of whether you have one or multiple employers. If your net salary is less than £50,000, you can only claim an amount equal to your salary. Therefore, even with two employers, the total standard deduction you can claim is £50,000.

Only 50,000
Standard Deduction of rs 50000 only

The standard deduction amount cannot exceed ₹50,000. Even if your salary is more than this amount, you can deduct only this sum under Section 16. Also, if your net salary is less than ₹50,000, you can deduct a sum equal to your salary, and not more.Hence, you can claim a standard deduction of ₹46,000 only.
