Thanks sir !Mast smjh aa gya ki LTA Chalava hai bas tax Dena hi pdega!!

[@voyagetales157]

1. What is difference in LTA taxable and LTA taxfree? When to claim which? 2. In a block of 4 year 2 trips can be claimed. Does it mean if I travel from Bangalore to Delhi in 1 ticket and return Delhi to Bangalore in another ticket then will it be claimed as 1 trip or 2 trip? 3. If I travel with my friend in single booking id, how can I claim amount for only my ticket fare?

[@Nikhil-jj7xf]

Q1: If my LTA is 1 lakh and I travel only for 2 times in 2 years, spending 1 lakh per year, the remaining 2 year LTA i.e. 2 lakh will be taxable ? Q2: In above scenario, if I travel 4 times in 4 years, spending 1 lakh per year, I hope I can claim only 2 lakh? Q3: In same scenario, if I travel 2 year, spending 2 lakh per year. Can I claim 2 lakh in a single year LTA (my LTA is 1 lakh/year) ?

[@realthinker70]

A1: Yes all unused LTA is taxable. A2: Yes. A3: Minimum of LTA or actual spend is considered.

सरजी 2022-23 में मुझे 26000 का LTC में एयर फेयर का रिम्बर्समेंट हुआ लेकिन Income tax की। New Regim का ऑप्शन लेने के कारण 30% की दर से टैक्स काट लिया गया क्या यह सही है

[@pankajmathpal]

New Tax Regime में LTA पर deduction नहीं मिलता इसलिए मिली हुई राशी taxable हो जाती है।

Thanks for this information! One Question: I am getting LTA in my salary and i traveled by Air in Nov 2022 from New Delhi -To- Trivandrum and I submitted the bills for this one-way travel to my employer in January 2023 and the flight amount got approved and reflected in my form-16 as well under section 10(5) but I also traveled return journey from Madurai To Agra Cantt in 3rd AC and i forgot to claim it to my employer. Can i claim it in my ITR filling by increasing the amount value in section 10(5)? Does return journey in 3rd AC can be claimed in LTA? FYI, the Flight amount was Rs 14000 whereas the return journey train amount was = Rs 4500/. So can i claim it as a total Rs 18500 in section 10(5)? please clarify

Asking this question because travel happened in a diff financial year but claim will happen in the next FY though both travel and claim is happening in the same calendar year
