Hi there,

For a salarised person the EPF contribution that comes from employer is divided into two parts. one part goes to EPF and other (12%) goes into pension account. My previous employer never contributed his part of EPF and all EPF came from my side, so never faced the below question.

Under 80C I can show EPF contribtions. So with current employer my end of EPF contribution goes to about 42K par annum and 42K (EPF + 12% pension account) is been contributed by employer. Can I claim the amount that is being put into my epf pension account by employer under 80C? (So something like 84 K here under 80C)

or I am only allowed to claim: my EPF contribution + Employer EPF contribution?
