Can I Still Claim LTA After Leaving My Job and Receiving Final Settlement?

dsaxena
Hi,

I left my job in June 2009 and received full and final settlement from my company after a month. At the time of leaving, I didn't submit my LTA claim.
Now, I want to claim LTA before Form 16 is generated by my company, but the finance guy in my company is saying that now he can't take my LTA claim and I should have submitted it in June last year. He's saying that since now I'm not on the payroll of the company, he can't access my account.
I want to know, is it really not possible to claim HRA/LTA after you have received Full & Final settlement or is he just avoiding his work.
Since I'm not employed anywhere, I really want to claim my LTA with my previous company.
Kindly clear my doubt.
Thanks,
Deepika

At the time of separation, your previous company should provide you with your unclaimed LTA on a prorated basis (Taxable).

Yes, you are eligible to claim if it was not included in your F&F settlement.
