Hi,
A Co follows the policy of giving yearly 50,000 per employee as leave travel concession as part of its CTC. An employee has not taken any trip during the block of 4 years. So can Rs50,000 be added to this salary on yearly basis? or LTA will be available only on reimbursement basis.

If employee is not availing LTC in block years; it is fully taxable income.
If he submit proof of journey's he can get exemption to the extent he spent.

So does that mean that if one is not availing LTA benefit then the amount of LTA received as part of CTC will be taxable.?i.e it will become a part of your salary like other allowances. I am asking ths question because in many articles it is written that if u dont take the benefit, your LTA will lapse and it is not a part of your CTC. This means company will not pay you anything. ?

If Rs.50,000/- is paid by employer every year as part of salary it is taxable like other allowances.
If employee submits proof of journey it is exempted twice in a block of 4 years.
If you don't avail LTA it is fully taxable allowance.

If you don't avail LTA it is fully taxable allowance.
