There is no limit for LTA. It is basically decided by the company.
You must get his original journey tickets. For journey done by flight then economic fair should be gain as LTA amount.
Employees can claim LTA twice in the block of 4 calender year. The current block is 2006-2009. The next block will be 2010-2013.
If the option given by the employer then employee can mention any amount even more than 2L.
