Quick Summary
If you received Leave Travel Allowance (LTA) from your employer but couldn't claim the exemption at the time, you can still claim it when filing your Income Tax Return (ITR) under Section 10(5). It's best to ask your employer to amend your Form 16 to reflect this. If that's not possible, you can claim the exemption directly in your return.

Yes lta exemption can be filed in return
Request employer to modify 16. if not, claim it suo moto in return.
Yes, it must be mentioned BY THE EMPLOYER AS PER SEC 10(5).
