Leave travel allowance_deduction

This discussion clarifies that Leave Travel Allowance (LTA) is an allowance paid by a company for travel expenses and should not be deducted from an employee's salary monthly to be paid at year-end. While tax exemptions on LTA are available under specific conditions, the allowance itself cannot be withheld or deducted from salary. The conversation also touches upon the eligibility of LTA for both government and private employees.
