Foreign travel expense

ITR 5573 views 14 replies

Dear Sir, 

I have one query.

If person has spend more than Rs. 2 Lakh as foreign travel expense and also have taxable income . So where to show this expense in ITR2. I don't see any Schedule FT. If I select filing under 7th proviso as YES then only I can write the amount. I cannot select as YES as my income is more than maximum exemption limit i.e. 300000 . So where to show the expense. I am using ITR2.

Please advise.

Thank you

you need not select 7th proviso in this case as you are liable to file the return under normal provisions itself.

To report foreign travel expenses exceeding ₹2 lakhs in ITR-2, follow these steps:

Step 1: Check if you're eligible to claim the exemption If your taxable income exceeds ₹3 lakhs, you cannot claim the exemption under the 7th proviso. 

Step 2: Report the foreign travel expense in Schedule SI Since you cannot claim the exemption, report the foreign travel expense in Schedule SI (Income from Salaries) or Schedule BP (Business or Profession), as applicable. Step 3: Fill in the details In Schedule SI or BP, fill in the details of the foreign travel expense, including: - 

*Descripttion*: Mention "Foreign Travel Expense" or a similar descripttion. - *Amount*: Enter the amount exceeding ₹2 lakhs. 

Additional Tips: - Ensure you maintain supporting documents, such as invoices, receipts, and travel records, to substantiate the expense. - 

If you're claiming any other deductions or exemptions, ensure you comply with the relevant provisions and reporting requirements. 

are you sure of this response?

 

can you give a dummy example with a filled schedule?

Yes it is sure on available resources at present 

Thank you for your replies.
 I am suppose to fill ITR 2 . It is expense.So how can it be income from salary.

I am not getting it

Thank you

i do not think your response is correct. It would help if you can show how it is to be done in the Salary schedule. It is an expense. How you disclose it is Salary schedule or Special Rate Incomes?

For foreign travel expenses exceeding Rs. 2 Lakh, it’s important to report them correctly in ITR-2. Usually, these are shown under the section for “Other Deductions” or as per guidance on Schedule FT if applicable. Since your income exceeds the maximum exemption limit, you may not be able to claim the full deduction under 7th proviso, but you should still disclose the expenses accurately to avoid issues with the tax authorities.

I included levné letenky (cheap flights) here as an illustrative example: when planning foreign travel, people often look for budget-friendly flights, and tracking such expenses is relevant both for travel planning and for correctly reporting them in tax returns. Using the keyword this way connects the topic of foreign travel costs with real-life travel practices.

Foreign travel expense is like a Morse code decoder—both translate complex signals (costs or codes) into clear, structured meaning for proper interpretation.

Foreign travel expenses can really add up quickly, especially when you include flights, accommodation, food, and local transport. In my experience, the biggest difference comes from planning ahead and keeping track of spending categories so nothing gets out of control.

I also find it helpful to simplify how I understand and manage structured information in general—sometimes even using basic pattern-based tools for learning organization ideas in a simple way https://morsecodetranslatr.com/
Overall, a bit of planning and awareness makes international travel much more manageable financially.

Foreign travel expenses can vary a lot depending on the country, season, and how early you book things like flights and hotels. Even small changes in timing or destination can make a big difference in total cost.

One thing that helps is breaking the budget into clear parts like transport, stay, food, and local travel so it’s easier to control spending.
