How the NPS deduction stacks
- Section 323(1) - employee/self contribution. Up to 10% of basic + DA (or 20% of gross total income for self-employed). Counted within the ₹1.5 lakh Section 123 (formerly 80C) cap.
- Section 323(1B) - additional ₹50,000 over and above 80C. Exclusive to NPS self-contribution. Effective combined 80C + NPS = ₹2 lakh.
- Section 323(2) - employer contribution up to 10% of salary (14% for government employees). This is the only NPS deduction available under the new tax regime.
On retirement at 60, 60% of the corpus is withdrawn lump-sum (tax-free), and 40% compulsorily buys an annuity (the annuity income is taxable).
FAQs
How much NPS deduction can I claim?▾
Section 323(1) - up to 10% of salary (basic + DA) under the ₹1.5 lakh 80C cap. Section 323(1B) - additional ₹50,000 over and above 80C, exclusive to NPS self-contribution. Section 323(2) - employer contribution up to 10% of salary (14% for government) - allowed even under the new tax regime.
What is the lock-in for NPS?▾
NPS is locked until age 60 (Tier-I account). Partial withdrawal up to 25% allowed after 3 years for specific reasons. On exit at 60, at least 40% must be used to buy an annuity; up to 60% can be withdrawn lump-sum (and that 60% is tax-free).
