1) What is the amount that can be claimed for LTA?


LTA is a benefit provided by the employer. It could be any amount starting from ₹ 20,000 and above. The amount would be decided by the employer based on the grade and seniority of the employee.

2) When an employee can claim LTA?


An employee can claim LTA for 2 years in  a block of 4 block years. Means, they can claim first time in year-1 and year-2 and second time in year-3 and year-4.

3) What is a block year in LTA?


Income tax rules define block year for claiming LTA. Previously it was 2010-2013. Currently it is 2014-2017. Means you can claim first LTA in 2014 and 2015 and second LTA in 2016 and 2017.

4) How a year is defined by IT rules for claiming LTA?


For claiming LTA, it is a calendar year and not financial year. For e.g. 2015 means 1-Jan-2015 to 31-Dec-2015. 2016 means 1-Jan-2016 to 31-Dec-2016. So current block year (4 years) starts from 1-Jan-2014 and ends at 31-Dec-2017.

5) Which IT section exempts LTA amount?


LTA amount claimed as per IT rules is exempted u/s 10 (5) of Income Tax Act.

9) How many kids are eligible to travel to get LTA benefit?

10) Can I claim LTA by travelling abroad trip?

11) What expenses can be claimed under LTA Benefit?

There is no change in IT rules in case spouse is working. However, smart way of claiming LTA is, one can claim in 1st year and spouse can claim in 2nd year. Similarly, one can claim in 3rd year and spouse can claim in 4th year. This way, they can enjoy 4 trips and also get the LTA tax benefit for the entire block year.

14) Can we carry forward unclaimed LTA?


Yes. An employee can carry forward one trip to next block year. Means in a 4 block years, he can claim one trip and one trip he can carry forward to the next block year. During the next block year, instead of 2 trips, they can undertake 3 trips and claim LTA benefit. However, this has to be communicated to an employer so that they can make provisions in their books.

15) If an employee moves from one company to another company, how LTA can be claimed?


There are no specific rules if an employee moves from one company to another company. They need to go by the same rules and claim 2 claims in a block of 4 years.

16) If en employee travel at the end of the year and returns from a trip which falls beyond 31st Dec, how does it work?


In such case, employee need to consider starting date as a basis and claim for that calendar year.

17) If en employee travel at the end of the block year and returns from trip after 31st Dec which falls in a different block year, how does it work?


Block year for the current LTA period is from 1-Jan-2014 to 31-Dec-2017. Assume that you want to claim your 2nd LTA amount and planned your trip from say 25th Dec 2017 to 5th Jan 2018. Since 1-Jan-2018 onwards is a different block period, you can still claim this trip under 2014-2017 block period.

18) My employer does not provide LTA benefit, can I make a trip and claim LTA while filing IT Returns?


LTA is a benefit provided by the employer. This is paid as reimbursement to you when you claim as per IT Rules. In case your employer does not provide this benefit, there is no way you can claim LTA. You cannot claim this while filing IT Returns.

19) I missed to submit my first LTA claim in a block year. Can I submit 2 LTA claims in a block year later?


As per IT Rules, an employee need to claim 2 trips LTA in a block of 4 years. However, if you have missed to claim in first 2 years, you need to indicate this to your employer, so that they can carry forward to subsequent 2 years of the same block year. You can later submit the bill pertaining to the first 2 years (bill date should indicate that) and claim it. However, you cannot claim 2 trips expenses in subsequent 2 years of a block period (with bill dates pertaining to 3rd and 4th year of a block period).

20) Do I need to submit a single bill for our trip or multiple bills would be accepted for LTA?


LTA benefit is given for a trip. Means, one family is travelling. Ideally, there would be one bill. However, there are cases where multiple bills would be received for a single trip (for airfare bills, where a family member agreed to join later and the booking was made later, but travel date is same of the remaining members). In such case, these are agreed by employers. It would be better to check with employer in such circumstances before proceeding further.

  5. Hi
    In block 2014-17 I claimed only once. My question is the carryover based on travel dates or on claim dates
    Here are my journey details:
    1)16 jan 17 – 27 jan 17 (claimed in FY2017-18) -> Is this considered in block (2014-17)
    2)31oct 18 13 nov 18 (claimed in FY2018-19) -> Can this be considered a carryover of block 2014-17?)
    3)11 march 2019 -17 mar 2019 (claimed in FY2019-20) -> Will this be a first of block 2018-21

    4) Can I still claim LTA for travel dates 22 dec – 21 jan ? ( to be claimed in FY2020-21 and considering as second travel of block 2018-21)

    1. Sir can you please reply its been outstanding for a month now. I understand you may be busy. BUt please respond if you are too busy to answer then I can stop following this thread

      1. Hello Chandan, Block period is different from financial year. Current LTA block period is 2018-2021 i.e. Jan-2018 to Dec-2021. Your point no.1 is out from current block and not counted 2) You can have 2 claims in this block of 4 years. It can be consecutive, but it has to be under 2 years each. e.g. 2018+
        2019 you can have 1 trip and 2020+2021 can have 2nd trip. Your query is that can you claim two trips for 2018+2019 – Answer is NO. You can claim only 1. You can claim 2nd trip in 2020+2021 i.e. Jan-2020 to Dec-2021 period.

        1. Dear Sir thanks for replying.
          On point no 2 Can i know if this can be treated as a carryover ? If not then why?

          Basically in 2018-21 I want to claim 3 times with the first one being treated as a carryover from 2014-17 block since I claimed only once in that block.

          I understand that you can claim one in 2018-19 but for carryover cant i claim 1 in 2018 as carryover and then in 2019 as normal.

          1. Hello Chandan, You cannot carry over for more than 4 year block period. At the end of the block period, such amount is paid to you and necessary income tax is deducted. You can reach out to your payroll department for more info.

In this case can claim exemption in 2020-21 with Jan 2020 LTA bills? Because both are in different Financial Year,, please advise

  12. Question
    1) Can you claim LTA for multiple journeys within a single long trip (happened within two weeks)
    Eg:
    Travel Mumbai to Mangalore
    Mangalore to coimbatore
    Coimbatore to Kodaikanal
    Kodaikanal to Bangalore
    Bangalore to Mumbai

    2) Do your parents have to travel with you through all the journeys? Suppose they joined in at a later date and left on a different date.

    1. Hello ED, The guideline is that it should be one trip. If this trip is continous it is immaterial about no of days and places. Your parents need not be there from day-1 to last day of the entire trip.

  13. Hi! Can someone please clarify

    Will it be possible to claim LTA in 2019-20 for the travel did on March 2018?

    1. Bishnu, The block period is 2018-2019 and 2020-2021. Your bill would fall in 2018-2019 block period. Ideally speaking you need to taking leave during that period and submit the bill immediately. While there is no restriction on submitting the bills within specific limit, pls talk to your payroll department as it has crossed almost 1 year 9 months.

  15. I am my family traveled to native and back to work place via Go Air. Will this be considered as one trip or two trips.

    1. Ankit, If it is continous travel, it would be treated as only one trip. Since you went to native and returned back, it would be treated as one trip only. You can recheck with your payroll department too.

  16. How many leaves we have to take to avail LTA? Is there any rule for the same? My employer says you have to use 5 PL to avail .

    1. Hello Sanmay, As per my knowledge there are no specific mandatory rules about leaves to be taken. You need to approach your payroll to check any company specific policy. What I heard is generally all corporate say 3 days travel is eligible to claim LTA.

  17. Sir,

    I am traving with AC couce bus to fgoa can the bus ticket can be claimed as LTA, if yes what would be the procedure

  18. Hi,

    I traveled in Oct-2018 (Trip 1) and in Dec-2018 (Trip 2). While I claimed LTA for Dec-2018 Trip (Trip 2) by Dec-2018 itself, I did not claim the one for Oct-2018 trip

    My questions are:
    (1) Can I claim LTA for Oct-2018 trip (Trip 1) now before Dec-2019?
    (2) If not, can I claim for this trip (Oct-2018) in 2020/21 slot because it is in the same block of 4 years?

    Thanks in advance!

    1. Hello RC, Employees can claim 2 LTA trips in a block of 4 years. However they can claim only 1 trip in a year. Since you had two trips and already claimed one trip, you cannot claim 2nd trip. Regd your second question, if you travel in 2019 or 2020, you can claim them. You cannot claim Oct-2018 as you already claimed for Dec-2018 in that year (Only one trip eligible in a year)

  19. Can LTA be claimed for 2 trips in same FY but different calendar year?

    LTA as it should be done/ claim in last financial year i.e 2014-15. My friend has suggested me to claim that LTA through revising IT return of 2014-15. Is it possible ? OR let me know best way to claim the same.

    Your suggestions are highly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,
    Prashant

    1. Prashant, You should first declare in your tax declaration with your employer. It is done, you can claim it. While you can claim while filing returns, better to go through your employer as you need not keep proofs later on

I have undertaken a vacation trip from 14th Feb 2015 to 22nd Feb 2015, in the financial year from 1st April 2014 to 31st March 2015, I have not taken exemption of LTA because by the end of Feb 2015, all declaration to the effect of Income Tax were closed. Now I have to declare income tax exemptions for 1st April 2015 to 31st March 2016 period. My employer is saying they will consider only this financial year trips and not the calendar year one. Can you please let me know, if thats the case, a person travelling in Feb and March will never be able to take income tax exemptions.

  63. Hi,
    Nice article. I have one query.

    I changed my company last year Nov 2014. I had a trip along with my family within india in Feb 2015.
    My new employer has given me LTA amount in the tax sheet provided to me.

    However my older employer has not provided LTA amount in the Full n Final settlement sheet they provided to me.
    While joining that older organization, they had given me salary break up saying LTA amount is 8.33% of Basic.
    Thereafter they just provided me revision letter with Total CTC. I had claimed LTA within same organization 2 years ago.

    Is it advisable for me to add 8.33% of the basic I received from the older organization during FY 2014-15 in the LTA amount to be claimed while filing return?
