You can claim LTA only twice in a block of 4 years i.e In current block applicable is year 2018 to 2021 so you can claim only twice the LTA benefit in the block of 4 years viz 2018 to 2021 (if you have not claimed earlier he/she is allowed to carryover such exemption to the next block provided he avails this benefit, in the first calendar year of immediately succeeding block)
