I have a question.
Can i get LTA tax exemption if myself and my family travel different dates while going and return together on same day?
ex: Mywife and kid started 1 week ahead of me and i joined them at native a week later due to my no.of.leaves i had is less. however while returning we all 3 came back in same flight together.
MY EMPLOYER SAY NOT ELIGIBLE AND ALSO FEW CA CONSULTANTS ALSO SAY NOT ELIGIBLE.
however my cobrother work for finance ministry says it is eligble and a common practice for many central govt employee to send their family during summer vacation upfront and join them later and come back together. Also he has given below ministry link on the same where i could find the same rule and tax exemption eligibility. pls clarify

*** Family can perform journey separately
Where a Government servant and his family perform journeys separately, there is no objection to his presenting separate claims. In each case, however, the claim should be for both outward and inward journeys.***

The above link has too many information related to LTA. I request you to search the text "journey separately" in order to reach the right location in the link to read the rules
pls clarify.
