The standard deduction amount cannot exceed ₹50,000. Even if your salary is more than this amount, you can deduct only this sum under Section 16. Also, if your net salary is less than ₹50,000, you can deduct a sum equal to your salary, and not more.Hence, you can claim a standard deduction of ₹46,000 only.
