I have doubts in eligibility basic exemption conditions, calculation of Leave Travel Concession (U/s 10(5)).

1. Employee can avail/claim travel expenses only or boarding, lodging expenses also?

2. If employee can take package of tour from travel agency, it can eligible to claim? (Example: so many travel agencies providing tour packages, in this package including service of travel/boarding/lodging/other charges)

3. Tour/travel limited to India or foreign tour also permitted?

4. Expenses incurred more than the employer proving, eligible for claim? Example: XYZ Rs. 50,000 LTA received (this amount under salary package, he is receiving month wise) from employer for the period of 2 years, but expenses incurred in LTA travel Rs. 60,000l, he is eligible for exemption more than the received amount?
