Rule 2(B) read with Section 10(5) prescibes Conditions towards exemptoins of LTA.The Exemtion is limited to the anount actually spent means there should be prpoer Bills supporting that the Employee has undertaken travel in this regards and further only 2 journeys in a block period of 4 years are exemt and the years for which you are receiving the Claims of Employees are covered by the Block priod 2002-2005. Technically if claimed within first Calender Year of the Next Block of 4 years i.e. 2006-2009. This is called "Carry Over Concession"
If the Claims for 2004 and 2005 were lodged before 31st Dec 2006 the Employees could be granted Exemption afainst full supports and if 2007 those wetre lodged they will attract tax.
The Company will need to pay FBT.
