Existence of non-classical carbanions
We know that there are some non-classical carbocations. But have non-classical carbanions also been described? I have not seen non-classical carbanions in books. If there are any non-classical carbanions, please provide some examples

What do you mean by"non classical carbanions"? Non classical carbocations are stabilised by resonance via sigma bonds to empty orbitals, while carbanions are destabilized by +H effect.

I mean to say that as nonclassical carbo cations are stabilized by the pi bond shifting which present in homo alylic or homo benzylic positions or they stabilized by sigma bond shifting, now I want to know that the type of stabilization which present in non classical carbo cations is it present in non classical Carbo anions, if they exist.

Interesting question. It is much less studied and reported on than the case of non-classical carbocations, but I did find a few papers. Brown and Occolowitz(Brown, J. M.; Occolowitz, J. L. Chem. Commun. 1965, 376-377) reported that deuterated bicyclo[3.2.1]octa-2,6-diene 1b, below, undergoes base-catalysed de-deuteration (potassium tert-butoxide in DMSO) to give 1a much faster (ca. 3 x 10^4) than the bicyclo[3.2.1]octa-2-ene counterpart, ie. 2b -> 2a. They suggested this is evidence for the intermediacy of a 6π-electron, delocalised (non-classical) carbanion 3.

Much more recently, Brown reviewed and provided additional DFT computational evidence for stabilisation and charge delocalisation in these species.(Brown, J. M. Aust. J. Chem. 2014, 67, 1296-1300)
