Claiming LTA deduction

 

1 LTA can be claimed as a deduction from taxable income where the employer provides LTA to employee and leave application has been made for a holiday either individually or with family.

2 The deduction is limited to the extent of actual travel costs incurred by the employee. The total cost of the holidays is not covered, only the travelling cost is covered.

3 Travel has to be undertaken within India only. Overseas destinations are not covered for deduction.

4 The tax rules provide for a deduction only in respect of two journeys performed in a block of four calendar years. The blocks are decided by government. They are 2010-2013, 2014-2017 and so on.

5 If the employee does not use their exemption during any block, the exemption can be carried over to the next block and used in the calendar year immediately following that block.
