07 June 2013 Hello Experts

I am eligible for LTA of Rs.20000.

I took leave for two weeks (in December 2012) and traveled to Assam from Bombay. I wanted to claim LTA for going to Assam and returning from Assam.

While declaring LTA with my employer, I declared only for returning back to Bombay (Rs.8500). Now I got Form16 from employer. I can see that Rs.8500 is shown as LTA and tax is not deducted on Rs.8500.

I want to further claim this LTA for going to Assam, Rs. 9000. However I have lost my boarding passes for the same.

Please let me know if I can directly claim LTA of Rs.9000 while filing online return.?

20 June 2013 Ok.

It means, salary declared in Form 16 will be more than actually declared. I hope it will not be an issue.

20 June 2013 No, how the salary declared more than form 16. I assumed your query that, employer paid the LTA amount without considering your one trip. how ever LTA not at all paid to you so there is no question of income and exemption
