Leave Travel Allowance

This query is : Resolved 

16 December 2008 Hello Expert,
Th organisation pays Rs 650/month as Leave travel allowance to the employee and is included for calculation of tax for salary income.
What is the maximum LTA exemption to be availed by the employee from income tax?
Can the employer allow the exemption and reduce from TDS.
Will it be included in Form 16 issued by employer in this case?
Thanks

16 December 2008 LTC (Sec. 10(5) - There is no limit on the exemption amount. Exemption amount is the actual expenditure incurred by the assessee and exemption cannot exceed the LTC amount (650x12=7800 in your case).

Second only 2 journeys in block of 4 years are exempt.

16 December 2008 Yes, it will be included in the Form 16 in both case whether taxable or exempt.

16 December 2008 If the amount is exempt in your case then employer can adjust TDS accordingly.
