Frequently asked questions on New Pension Scheme and its deduction u/s 80CCD
Q1: Who can claim deduction u/s 80CCD regarding new pension scheme?
A1: As per the provisions of section 80CCD of the Income Tax Act, 1961,
- Where an assessee, being an individual employed by the Central Government on or after the 1st day of January, 2004, has in the previous year paid or deposited any amount in his account under a pension scheme as notified vide Notification No. F.N. 5/7/2003- ECB&PR dated 22.12.2003, he shall be allowed a deduction in the computation of his total income, of the whole of the amount so paid or deposited as does not exceed ten per cent of his salary in the previous year.
- The benefit of new pension scheme has been extended to any other employees (also self-employed person) with retrospective effect from 1-4- 2009 (A.Y. 2009-10)
- Similarly, w.r.e.f A.Y. 2009-10 deduction u/s 80CCD is also allowed to employees up to 10 per cent of salary in the previous year and in other cases up to 10 per cent of his gross total income in the previous year.
Q2: What is the quantum of deduction u/s 80CCD?
A2: Circular No-1/2010 dated 11th Jan’2010 issued on the subject of Deduction of Tax at Source etc. clarifies that in accordance with the provisions of Section 80 CCD, deduction in respect of contribution made by an individual in the previous year to his account under a pension scheme notified, is allowed in computation of his total income –
(a) In the case of an employee, ten per cent of his salary in the previous Year; and
(b) In any other case, ten per cent of his gross total income in the Previous year.
2. It further clarifies that where the Central Government or any other Employer makes any contribution to the account of employee for the pension scheme, the assessee shall also be allowed a deduction in the computation of his total income of the whole of the amount contributed by the Central Govt. or any other employer as does not exceed 10% of his salary in the previous year.
One point that needs clarification is that whether contribution made by Central Government or other employer needs to be added to the income of the assessee before allowing deduction or not. In my opinion, yes, firstly it should be added and then deduction u/s 8OCCD should be allowed.
Q3: What is the meaning of salary for the purposes of section 80CCD?
A3: Salary for the purpose of section 80 CCD includes dearness allowance if the terms of employment so provide, but excludes all other allowances and perquisites.
Q4: Can you please illustrate the above with the help of an example?
A4: sure, let’s take an example:
Mr. X is a central govt. employee under the new contributory pension scheme; Govt contributes 10% to his pension fund.
Mr. X’s salary structure is as follows:
Basic salary- 2, 00,000/-
D.A. (included for the purpose of retirement benefits) 100,000.00
Allowances taxable: 40000.00
Perquisites taxable: 60000.00
Investment u/s 80C LIC/M/F = 1,00,000.00
Mr. X has contributed Rs. 30,000.00 to his new pension scheme and the central Govt. also makes a matching contribution of Rs. 30,000.00. Compute the income and deduction u/s 80 CCD.
The income of Mr. X is as under:
| Particulars | Income | Total income |
| Basic salary | 2,00,000.00 | |
| D.A. | 1,00,000.00 | |
| Allowances taxable | 40,000.00 | |
| Perquisites | 60,000.00 | |
| Central Govt. contrib. to NPS | 30,000.00 | 4,30,000.00 |
| Deduction u/s 80CCD (1) Employee’s contribution | 10% of Basic salary+ DA | 30,000.00 |
| Deduction u/s 80CCD (2) Employer’s contribution | 10% of Basic salary+ DA | 30,000.00 |
| Deduction u/s 80C | Restricted to 40,000.00 though investment is 1,00,000.00 because of section 80CCE | 40,000.00 |
| Net taxable income | 3,30,000.00 |
Q5:? Can I claim deduction on account of NPS u/s 80 C?
A5:, NPS contribution cannot be claimed u/s 80C, as section 80CCD (4) clearly disallows any deduction u/s 80C on account of NPS
80CCD (4) Where any amount paid or deposited by the assessee has been allowed as a deduction under sub-section (1),—
(a) no rebate with reference to such amount shall be allowed under section 88 for any assessment year ending before the 1st day of April, 2006;
(b) no deduction with reference to such amount shall be allowed under section 80C for any assessment year beginning on or after the 1st day of April, 2006.]
Another point that I see which is quite harsh for the employees is that the aggregate amount of deduction under sections 80C, 80CCC and 80CCD cannot exceed Rs. 1,00,000 (section 80CCE)
Q6: What is the tax treatment at the time of withdrawal of fund from NPS?
A6: The NPS would follow the EET (Exempt – Exempt – Taxed) regime of taxation.
There are basically 3 types of taxation regimes,”
(1) EEE- Exempt Exempt Exempt- example LIC
(2) EET- Exempt Exempt Taxable- example NPS (3) ETE- Exempt, taxed, Exempt- FDR for 5 years.
Some more examples:
Public Provident Fund (PPF)
Investment: Tax-deductible Accumulation: Tax-free Withdrawal: Tax-free
That is, the Exempt – Exempt – Exempt or EEE regime is followed for PPF.
National Savings Certificate (NSC)
Investment: Tax-deductible Accumulation: Taxable Withdrawal: Tax-free
That is, the Exempt – Taxed – Exempt or ETE regime is followed for NSC.
Provident Fund (PF) and Voluntary Provident Fund (VPF)
Investment: Tax-deductible Accumulation: Tax-free Withdrawal: Tax-free
That is, the Exempt – Exempt – Exempt or EEE regime is followed for PF and VPF.
Some pension plans
Investment: Tax-deductible
Accumulation: Tax-free
Withdrawal: Taxed (The monthly pension is taxable)
That is, the Exempt – Exempt – Taxed or EET regime is followed for them.
Tax Saving Fixed Deposits
Investment: Tax-deductible Accumulation: Taxable Withdrawal: Tax-free
That is, the Exempt – Taxed – Exempt or ETE regime is followed for these FDs.

gratuity is a kind of compliment given to a employee after serving the organisation for a definite period.many of the private companies offer this to its employees. the indian government is very slowly wahing off their hands from its servants by discontinuing the benefits of the government job in the form of withdrawing pension and gratuity. sinc the number of people joining government service is less after 2004 the govt is very callous towards the grievance. i could see that the day is not far when the affected employees unit and protest against this.

I AM CENTRAL RAILWAY GOVERNMENT EMPLOY AND I AM IN NEW PENSION SCHEME. 10 PERCENT DEDUCATION AS NPS AND 10 PERCENT CONTRIBUTED BY RAILWAY . IS CONTRIBUTION AMOUNT ALSO ADDED IN MY INCOME AND THAT INCOME BE TAXABLE OR NOT.
80CCD very clearly states that
1. Deduction for employee and employers contribution in NPS to the extent of 10% of Basic and DA within the limit of Rs. 100000 under section 80C shall be given in the year in which the contributions are made.
2. The amount for which the deduction has been allowed is to be charged to income in the year in which these contributions are received by the employee by way of either opting out of the scheme or by way of closing of the account or by the way of income that is received through purchase of annuity plan from the amount received on closure or opting out of the scheme.
The above provisions make it amply clear that
1. Employer contribution to the extent of 10% of Basic + DA can not be charged to the head Income from Salary till the time employee receives this amount in his hand by way of opting out or closing of the account.
2. eduction under 80C to the extent of Rs. 100000 shall bre given in the year in which the contributions are made.
3. Contributions for which deduction has been allowed now shall be treated as income in the year in which the employee withdraws from NPS. For exapmle if an employee is contributing Rs. 100000 by way of his contribution and his employers contribution in Tier 1 account of NPS and is also investing in other tax saving instruments such as LIC, PPF etc. say Rs. 100000, then his total savings are Rs. 200000 but qualifying amount is only Rs. 100000 under section 80C. On his retirement the employee can very well claim that the deductions allowed to him under 80C were corresponding to his other investments and not contributions made to NPS, hence since he has not claimed any deductions earlier, the sum received by him on closing of NPS account is not taxable as it has been taxed earlier.
This only brings NPS at par with other retirement schemes such as EPF, GPF, FPS etc.
