Lta/ltc exemption as pe it act

I am working in a PSU. I have travelled from Visakhapatnam  to Shimla on LTA/LTC. I have traveled by Train((2nd AC) upto Hyderabad and from Hyderabd to Delhi by Air Air(Economy) and by Taxi(From Delhi  to Shimla). Whether the total expenditure exclusively incurred for Train/Air/Taxi can be claimed for LTA Exemption? or is there  is any specified amount is there as per IT act for LTA Exemption.

Kindly Advise in this regard,

  4. Place of origin& destination not connected by rail(partly/fully) but connected by other recognised Public transport system - First class or deluxe class fare by shortest route or amount spent which ever is less.
  5. Place of origin& destination not connected by rail(partly/fully) and not connected by other recognised Public transport system also – AC first class rail fare by shortest route (as the journey had been performed by rail) or the amount actually spent ,which ever is less.    

Exemption On actual Expenses Only:The amount of exemption is Limited to actual expenses only .Means allowed only if actual journey is performed.
 

Hope this clarify your doubt

Dear,

As per provisions of IT act employee has to travel alongwith parents to be eligible for LTA exemption.

What If parents join in between of journey, whether the total exemption related to parent portion will not be given or partial.

For e.g:

Suppose an employee starts journey from A and reaches to D via B and C.

Parents join at point B and come back to B alongwith family. whether there will be any LTC exemption for parents portion. ??

Please reply quoting some supporting case law and provisions.
