Dear Pooja,
m agreed with with abhishek.
It is taken with in block of four years. and u can enjoy two journeys in that block of 4 years. as far as calculation is concerned one month basic salary can be considered.
Also
10% of annual basic can be taken in to consideration.
There is no specific rule that is applicable in all the compnies for LTA. It differs from organisation to organisation. Since you said you are working. You should definitely have employee manual or atleast Rules governing LTA.
In our organisation our LTA was for calender year. I joined this organisation in OCtober of 2008. Since the LTA is for calender year I claimed my LTA for the year 2009 in January itself.
In some organisations it will be clearly written that employee is eligible for LTA only after completion of one year of service.
