Dear Sir, We work in a PSU. As per our last wage settlement we get 30% of (basic pay & DA) as retirement benefits of which 13% of (basic pay & DA) are deposited in LIC's pension fund.
My query is that can we get this amount of 13% of (basic pay & DA) as tax exempted under 80ccc?
regards,

Section 80ccc is applicable for taxpayers who have deposited some amount out of their taxable income to buy or continue an annuity plan from LIC or any other insurer.
So, if contribution is made by you (not by employer) out of your own taxable income that would be eligible for exemption.
