Payment Of Medical & LTA Allowance On Monthly Basis

Ravi LN
Hi!
I am Ravi
In our Company, we have employees paid morethan Rs.15000/- as basic salary per month and their medical & LTA eligibility is one month's basic pay per annum respectively.
In case, if the management decide to pay the medical allowance in equal monthly instalments is it OK? eg. Basic pay is Rs.42,000/-pm. Shall we pay it as Rs.3500/-pm along with his monthly salary. For tax purpose, the employee has to produce bills and claim exemption up to max. Rs.15000/-pa. Is it OK.
Like wise, whether LTA can also be paid on a monthly basis. ie. Rs.3500/-pm instead of yearly. For tax he should submit bills as per tax rules (2 trips in the block of 4 years). Is it OK
Please clarify.
Thanks & Regards
Ravi

Hi
Yes you can do that.
Take declaration from Employees regarding Medical allowance that they will spend this money on Medical and at the year end collect proofs for the same.
For LTA change the name as LTC.
