28 February 2014 any LTA received over and above the amount for which was spent for the trips entitled under the LTA is taxable. It doesnt matter how it is paid to you, the relevant issue is the amount actually spent on leave travel.

28 February 2014 I dont carry singhanis with me. would be great if you share the text here. Regardless, as long as you are able to submit expense proof for the travel for two trips during the block of four years, you can claim exemption
