Hi Friends, I have few queries please. 1. LTA is part of Choice Pay wherein all the bills need to be submitted. What happens if the relevant bills are not submitted? Would the amount be taxed? 2. Under LTA, will parents who are dependents be eligible ? Would their travel expenses come under LTA? 3. How do I calculate the Income tax on the salary? 4. Superannuation Fund : is the % per month or per year? Thanks in advance for all the help. Uma.

Hi, Got this from a site. Hope its useful. To claim LTA, you fulfill two criteria, you can do so: i. You should have taken leave from your company ii. You should actually travel You can either travel alone or with your family. However, if your family travels without you, no LTA can be claimed. 2. How often can I claim LTA? Twice in the block of four calendar years. This block is not calculated with the start of your employment. The government defines these blocks. Presently the block is 2002-2005. Since it is the calendar year and not the financial year, it will be from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2005. 3. What if I fail to avail of it? In case you fail to do so, there is a carry over option. Let's say that in the block of four years, you never did claim any LTA. You can do so in the first year of the next block of four years. 4. What is the proof of travel to avail of LTA? According to rule 2B, you can produce an air, rail or any public transport ticket. You can even submit the bills issued by the car rental company if you rent a vehicle. However, the travel is applicable anywhere in India and not abroad. So an international air ticket will not hold. 5. Is LTA taxed? You can receive LTA as either reimbursement or allowance. Reimbursement In case of LTA as reimbursement, it is not taxable. Let's say your company offers an LTA of Rs 50,000. For proof of travel, you produce an air ticket of Rs 10,000. In such a case, you can claim only Rs 10,000 as LTA and it will be exempt from tax. Allowance If you do not submit any proof of travel, you will get your LTA but will have to pay tax on it. If you produce proof of travel, it will not be taxable to the extent your proof of travel is covered. Let's say you are entitled to Rs 50,000 as LTA as part of your salary. Since you produced proof of travel as Rs 10,000, you will not be taxed on this amount. However you will be taxed on the net Rs 40,000 as per your income tax slab rate. LTA is not a fringe benefit as the latter are benefits that are usually enjoyed collectively by the employees and cannot be attributed to individual employees. 6. Can both spouses claim LTA? If both spouses are getting the LTA benefit in their places of work, they can both claim exemption on LTA from their employers and the benefit for four journeys in one block. They do not have to take the precaution of not travelling twice during the same year. Moreover, they can take the same family members or different ones as long as they stick to the definition of the members for this purpose. Family includes spouse, children as well as dependent parents, brothers and sisters. In respect of children born on or after October 1, 1998, the exemption will be restricted only to two surviving children unless the birth after one child has resulted in multiple births (twins or triplets). 7. If I and my wife travel this year, can we both claim LTA simultaneously? No. You cannot claim LTA twice for the same journey. If both of you take a holiday together and you claim LTA, she cannot. 8. If I am entitled to a particular amount as LTA, but my expenses are higher, can I claim more? Say in the year 2005-06, you receive on Rs 8,000 as LTA, but spend Rs 50,000 on travel. You can claim exemption only to the tune of Rs 8,000. Thanks Fayeg

Dear HR Friends, I am doing a small assignment to find out how LTA is paid in organisations. Please provide me with some information on your company practice of paying LTA along with you company name and your name, The questions are, 1) Is LTA paid upfront, i.e., in advance? 2) If not, how do you pay? 3) Do you recover? 4) Is it paid on prorata basis or entirely if an employee joins in the middle of the month?

If LTA is paid at the end of the year, how is it possible for employee to claim tax since he has not received that amount

Hi, I have a straight forward question. I joined my company on July 2005. For the period of July to Dec 2005 I was entitled to receive LTA of 3000 Rs.(500 each month). I forgot to claim it against any journeys. Now any ways I cannot claim that for any journeys, but can I get the money after tax deduction or do I stand forfeited. Thanks in advance, Basavesh
