Can First-Time LTA Opt-Ins Claim Within the Same Year? Seeking Advice on Timing

nishantkk
If any employee opted for LTA for the first time, can he take the claim in the first year? For example, if he opts for LTA from Apr '18 and wants to claim in Nov '18, or should the first claim be after Mar '19? Please advise. Can he submit the claim bill of Nov '18 in his claim?

LTA can be claimed more than once in a financial year, but it will be taxable according to the IT Act.

Dear Prashant,

You are correct, but my question is: can we claim LTA in the first year out of the four-block years?
