Quick Summary
The Supreme Court has ruled that Leave Travel Concession (LTC) benefits are strictly for travel within India. Employees undertaking journeys that include foreign travel, or do not use the shortest route between designated Indian points, are not eligible for the tax exemption under Section 10(5). Consequently, employers are obligated to deduct Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) on any such LTC payments made.
