Deduction under section 80CCC can be claimed by non-resident individuals contributing to pension funds under the statute.
The provision permits a deduction for contributions to pension funds and does not impose a residency restriction, so non-resident individuals who make qualifying contributions to pension funds are eligible to claim the deduction under the section.

Deduction under section 80CCE limits combined 80C and 80CCC claims for contributions to savings instruments.
Contributions to Public Provident Fund and an annuity policy eligible under Section 80CCC are deductible but subject to the aggregate ceiling under Section 80CCE; when combined eligible deductions across Sections 80C and 80CCC exceed the statutory limit, the deductible amount is restricted to that ceiling and any excess is disallowed.

Aggregate deduction under section 80CCE limits combined 80C and 80CCC contributions to the statutory overall ceiling.
Contributions to a public provident fund and annuity policy premiums are aggregated and the deductible amount is the lesser of the combined eligible contributions and the statutory aggregate ceiling; when the combined total exceeds that ceiling, the deduction is restricted to the statutory limit.
