You are entitled to a claim of RM 450 x 2 months = RM 900 only for the Year of Assessment 2012. Beginning with the Year of Assessment 2013, the amount of contribution per year is RM 5400 (RM 450 x12 months) but claims are limited to RM 3000 only. The amount contributed by the employer is not taken into account in determining the amount of the relief.
