Tax Questions on Pension & Equities

Not sure if I ask tax related questions here. But here they go anyway.

For context, there are 3 questions (with some corollaries perhaps accompanying these questions)

My first (1st) question is if I prematurely withdraw my entire corpus & close my NPS account, can I still claim rebate under Section 80CCCD(1B) for contributions I have made prior to such closure in the same year?

My second (2nd) question follows from the first, which is if after closing my NPS account, can I still open a new one & claim rebate under Section 80CCCD(1B) for contributions I make thereafter? (If not, can you kindly explain why? By chance, is there a minimum cooling period, i.e. a minimum duration between closing the first account & opening the next?

And last (3rd) but not the least, this is regarding taxation on unlisted shares as also foreign equities.

My question here is whether the exemption of ₹1.25 lakhs on LTCG (long term capital gain) announced in this year’s Union Budget (FY2024-25) also include gains made on foreign stocks and those on unlisted Indian shares or foreign equity holdings? Or are they treated separately altogether?

I know that was quite a handful. My sincere thanks to all you enlightened Good Samaritans, who’d volunteer to answer the above.
