Leave Travel Allowance ( LTA )

Hi I m KHyat Dattani doing my summers in an IT company........
I wanted the fiollowing information on LTA:
1) Is there any minimum period criterion there for claiming LTA???? Like this many days he has to be on leave...
2) Is it mandatory for the ee claiming LTA to be a part of the trip??? Can he claim it for his family....Ie. A journey made by his wife and / or children o which he was not a part.
any other inf relating to LTa will be really appreciated
Thanx a ton in advance guys

If the children & wife is dependent members in that case he can claim the LTA, otherwise he cant claim

Plz. refer to your company LTA policy.
My previous concern gave me only after a three day leave & I had to submit my bills. I even submitted the car bill.
(I had been outstation with my family booking a car a two days trip)

Dear Khyat,
For claiming LTA one needs to be a part of the trip. It does not matter if wife and children are dependent or not. you can claim for them as well but you definitly need to be a part of the trip.
one needs to take at least 3 days leaves to avail Tax exempted LTA.

Hi Kyat,
It depends from comany to company....
in my company, one has to show 5 working days leave to claim LTA. and yes
the employee has to be part of the trip while claiming the amount.

In my Company i have applied for LTA since In last year i have worked only 217 days,
management is saying that you cant apply for LTA since you have not completed 240 working days in last year.
They granted me 7 Pl on prorata basis ( as per company policy employee should take minimum 6 days PL for claiming LTA )
please tell me whether im eligible for LTA or not
as well as for Gratuity & bonus also
