Frequently asked questions

What is the current LTA block?

The current block is calendar years 2026 to 2029 (1 Jan 2026 – 31 Dec 2029). You can claim exemption for two journeys in a block; an unused journey from the 2022–2025 block can be carried over to the first year of the new block (2026).

Which expenses are covered?

Only the travel fare within India for you and your family by the shortest route, capped at economy air fare of the national carrier, AC first-class rail fare, or equivalent for road. Hotel stay, food, sightseeing and local cabs are not covered. LTA exemption is available only under the old tax regime.

Is this a ticket or a bill?

No. It is a declaration that accompanies the genuine tickets, boarding passes and payment proofs of journeys you actually made. Payroll will verify it against those documents.

Can I make a bill for any purchase?

Issue these documents only for real transactions that you or your business actually made. Making bills for purchases that did not happen is fraud and a punishable offence.

What is leave travel allowance?

LTA is part of a salary paid to cover travel within India while on leave. Under the old tax regime, the fare for two journeys in a four-year block can be claimed as exempt.

What documents are needed for an LTA claim?

Usually the signed declaration, tickets or boarding passes, and proof of payment for each journey. Check your employer's payroll policy.
