Error with amount under section 10(5) given by employer under LTC cash voucher scheme 2021

Vivek (Engineer) (25 Points)

Hi,

I availed the LTC cash voucher scheme 2021 and had submitted all details to my employer and they gave me deduction of close to 55,000 and it comes in FORM 16 under section 10(5).

I am filing ITR2 and utility does not give any validation error. But as I try to submit the ITR it gives me error "Category of defect A" and says "Kindly restrict the exemption u/s 10(5) to "Leave Travel Allowance" under salary as per section 17(1)" and gives suggestion - "restrict the exemption u/s 10(5) - Leave travel concession/assistance to "Leave travel allowance" under salary as per section 17(1)".

What am i missing here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Attaching screenshot of error.

Thanks

Please update your salary details at "Schedule Salary"

Suppose LTA is Rs. 20,000 and salary is 1,00,000

Then please enter salary as

Basic salary = 80000 + LTA = 20,000

Then, you will be able to claim LTA 20,000 under section 10

Thanks.

I found the solution

1) Broken the salary as basic+ LTA, deleted the 10(5) entry and readded the same.

2) Logged out and logged in again, then the validation was successfull.

Without logout it was not working irrespective of how many combination I tried of step 1

Delete the salary details entered. Re enter the salary break up details once again. but this time with LTA component. Log out and Log In. After Login in enter the LTA under 10(5). This worked out for me.

I tried for almost 6 hours and finally it worked. Delete LTA and the Exemption, then add LTA and logout, then login and add exemption and save -> confirm and logout. Login again and go straight to validation. It worked for me after almost 30 tries since yesterday so not sure what works.

My plan B was to select "Any Other" option in Exemptions and that provides a filed to update the exemption in which I would have entered Section 10(5) exemption. This I think would also be ok as the net salary and exemptions would reconcile with the Form 16.
