Lta & El

Dear Seniors,
Kindly clarify my doubt on LTA and EL, Let’s suppose one of the employees is gone for 10 days on annual vacations and has claim LTA for it, so these 10days will be deducted for his EL or these 10 days will be additional leaves?
Regards
Krishna

Hi,
Leaves will be deducted from the paid leaves only no additional leaves are provided for the purpose of LTA..

Dear Divya,
Kindly refer to your LTA (Leave Travel Allowance) policy.
You can get LTA only if you have applied for leave from your company and have actually travelled. However, international travel is not valid.
Only the travel costs are covered. So, whether you fly, hop on to a train or take public transport, you will have to show the ticket to claim your LTA.
LTA covers travel for yourself and your family. Family, in this case, includes yourself, parents, siblings dependent on you, spouse (even if your spouse is working) and children.
You can claim the LTA benefit just once in a year.
If you switch jobs, you can get the LTA not only from your present organisation but also from your former employer, if the concession is lying unutilized.
You must take the shortest route to your destination to be eligible for LTA.
If your LTA is not utilized, it gets added to your salary and you will be taxed on it.
Hope this may clear your query.

FOR LTA ELIGIBLE ANY EMPLOYEE HAS TO WORK 240 DAY IN PREVIOUS YEAR.
LTA:BASIC+D.A FOR THE ONE MONTH.
Who ever not ultilise the LTA.
Thanks&Regards

Dear Vijay,
Your query is not clear, kindly elaborate it.
It will helpful for forum member to repay.

Krishna,
One has to avail min 6 days leave from his EL/PL to avail LTA amount tax exemption (for the ticket cost). I.T.exemption for LTA can be claimed twice in a block year of 4 yrs. The curent block year is 2010-13.

Sir,
what If any employee did not have PL whatever may be reason, employer should deposit his LTA amount to him at year end?

Vijay,
One can not undertake travel without taking leave. That is why, availing leave for claiming LTA tax exemption is made mandatory. However, LTA rules do not specify the type of leaves to be availed for claiming LTA tax exemption. In my opinion, approved LOP leaves can also be used for availing LTA with tax exemption. Otherwise, LTA amount will be paid to the employees at the end of FY and it will treated as taxable income. Hope I clarified.
