Hi,
I am working as a salaried professional in an IT company. I get my LTA as a non-taxable monthly component. I applied for LTA claim with my company for to-and-fro return air fare for myself and my spouse and child. My wife and child travelled one week before my travel and while coming back we all travelled together. Company is denying me claim for air fare for journey done by my wife and child citing reason that my dependents have to travel with me. Company is also siting opinion of website taxgyan.in (url: http://taxgyan.in/leave-travel-allowance-lta-exemption-and-income-tax-benefit/#comments).
There is no explicit condition (for mandatory travel of my dependents with me)mentioned in any of the company's policies. Please advise.
Regards,
Mukesh
