by Jinesh Paul on Feb 08, 2008 02:57 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Please clarify on the number days that has to be on leave to avail the LTA tax exemption. Will i be eligible to avail the benefit if i have taken the leaves for two days (friday and Monday). It brings four consecutive days with the non working days (saturday and sunday). Please advise me if i am in this situation will i be able to get the LTA tax benefit..

Income Tax Act,1961 does not specify about how many days one should be on leave. However, the company in which the employees works governs the leave policy.

Hi, Pls help me.

As per my knowledge we can claim claim for LTA after 1 year in the organization.
But quetion is that: 1 year, days starts from joining date in the company or the confirmation date in the company.

As I had worked for a company for 14 months and cliamed for LTA with document proof. 3 months was the probation periods in than company. Now they are saying You haven't completed 1 years after your confirmation date. So if I reduce my three months probation periods then my total working months are 11 months.

So it true as per the LTA rules.

Thanks in advance
