I think 40,000 is standard deduction, u dont have an option to take it as 20,000
2 is correct. Deduction will be 40000 and net salary will be 230000.
STANDARD DEDUCTION OF 40K IMMATERIAL VTH BASIC EXEMPTIOM LIMIT

the standard deduction is rs  40000  

if the salary is only 30000  the  deduction will  be only rs 30000

so the salary is less than rs 40k the such amount will be the standard Deduction

thx u all for support
