28 October 2013 Hi

It means you can claim exempted LTA once in 2 years of 4 years block.

Here block means block of 4 years. EG. present block is 2010,2011,2012,2013.

So you can claim two exempted block in any one year between 2010 to 2013.

So if you claim only one exemption or No exemption in years 2010 to 2013. You can carry forward only one available exemption immediately in 2014 & apart from this extra exemption you can also claim 2 exemption in block of 2014 - 2017.

So in short only 2 exempted LTA in a 4 years period. And if you dont claim one or more exemption in a block of 4 years, you can claim 3 exempted LTA in next 4 years block of this 3 exempted LTA you have to claim 1st exempted LTA in very first year of 4 yaers period.

Thanks//VaibhavJ
