• 80CCD(1B) of income tax

Hi,

I invest in LIC, Mutual Funds, Sukanya Samriddhi Yojna for deduction under 80C. 
1.5 lacs (limit for 80C) is covered by the above-mentioned investments.

I additionally invest in NPS (approx 60K per year).

80CCD(1B) states that additional 50K investment in NPS can be exempted under 80CCD(1B).

So my question is that can i get exemption under 80CCD(1B) even if my net investment in NPS is only 60K? OR it should be 1.5lacs + 50K for getting exemption under 80CCD(1B)?

Sir according to my understanding of section 80CCD(1B) it says whether or not any deduction is allowed under section 80CCD(1) you will get a deduction of 50000 under 80CCD(1B).

therefore according to me your total deductions would be 150000 + 50000 = 200000

Hope you find the information helpful if you do please rate it 5 and provide your valuable feedback for my improvement.

Thank you

You can invest 50000 in NPS and directly claim it under 80CCD(1B) because section says irrespective of above section which means 80CCD(1) and (1B) are independent.

Therefore you can pay 50000 and take deduction no need to pay 200000.

Hi,

You can claim maximum Rs. 1.5 Lac u/s 80C & Rs. 0.5 Lac u/s 80CCD(1b) so in total Rs. 2 Lac.

So for whatever amount your investment is you will get maximum deductions as per above only...

In NPS if you invest any amount you will get only Rs. 50,000 deduction. So if you invest Rs.50,000 you will get 100% deduction of Rs.50,000 u/s 80CCD(1B).

There is no limit on investing in NPS to claim exemption u/s 80CCD(1B). If you are investing 60000, then you can include u/s 80C till the limit i.e 150000 gets exhausted. Over and above this you claim u/s 80CCD(1B) up to 50000.
