Okay.
So basically I have (20 GB storage under offer for 12 months + 2 GB free storage forever)
Consider a situation:
I have used 16 GB out of 22 GB (20 GB + 2 GB):
Then post 12 months, 4 GB unused storage space out of 20 GB will be lapsed and I can anytime access the data stored in the storage provided under the offer but can't add any further data, though can modify data in the free 2 GB storage which has been provided.
Is this correct understanding of mine related to this offer.

No. Dropbox updated their policy to state that if you remain over quota for an extended time, they have the right to delete enough of your data, starting with the most recent, to bring your account back below your quota.
If you have 16GB is an account that only has 2GB of space, you risk losing 14GB of that data if you don't upgrade your account or remove the data yourself.
