Finance Minister Arun Jaitley in Budget 2015-16 introduced an additional income tax deduction of Rs. 50,000 for contribution to the New Pension Scheme (NPS) under Section 80CCD. NPS is a voluntary pension scheme, which is regulated by the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority.
Under this scheme, subscribers invest in a fund chosen by them and at the time of retirement they get a lump sum amount depending on the performance of that fund. The returns from NPS are not guaranteed; they are market-linked
NPS was introduced in 2004 for the new government employees but from 2009, it was extended to all on a voluntary basis
.
NPS structure: The scheme is structured into two tiers: Tier-I and Tier II accounts. The Tier-I account is the non-withdrawable account meant for savings for retirement. The contribution to Tier-I account is only eligible for tax benefits.
1) Tax savings: The extra deduction of Rs. 50,000 on NPS can help those in the highest tax bracket of 30 per cent save an additional Rs. 16,000 in taxes. Those in 20 per cent tax bracket can save over Rs. 10,000 while those in 10 per cent can save over Rs. 5,000.

This artist is so full of himself that he really shouldn't be in business. If he feels the tattoo he's been paid to create doesn't meet his standards for whatever reason, just say no. But to create a permanent joke on your clients skin is rude and I hope he gets sued for misrepresenting his services.
