Claim LTA - Our origin and destination is same, but our mode of transport is different

anonymous564
I have one query regarding claiming LTA in my organization.
Actually my parents have traveled from one Origin to destination using train. They got their seat in train as they belong to senior citizen quota but I didn't get the seat. I have traveled between same origin and destination using a hired taxi.
Our origin and destination is same, but our mode of transport is different. Can I claim LTA with this. Thanks

Please check your organisational rules for LTA-mode of travel.
Many organisations do not include Taxi or private cars a s a mode of travel when origin and end place are connected by rail and/or public transport.
Have you got a stamped receipt from taxi driver and what was the mode of payment to the driver?

You can not claim Taxi bill, LTA can only be claimed for train and airfare.

I have checked my organization policies. I can claim taxi bill for LTA also. But I am not sure whether different mode of transport are permissible for parents and employee, keeping in view the origin and destination are same.

Yes I got the taxi bills with stamp and my mode of payment is cash.

Then there should be no issue.
Please speak to HR about the matter.
Why should there be a problem if policy permits taxi travel.
It is not mandatory for entire family to travel together for LTA
