LTC is not taxable under the old tax regime but is taxable under the new tax regime.
An employee adopted the old tax regime in the financial year 2022-23 and took a ₹50,000 advance from his department and availed the LTC. The employee also submitted a claim for the remaining ₹20,000 of LTC to his department in the same financial year.
However, his department processed and paid the remaining ₹20,000 in the next financial year 2023-24. In 2023-24, the employee switched to the new tax regime.
Therefore, will income tax be levied on the ₹70,000 received by the employee?
