Free LTA Receipt Generator Online
An LTA receipt — also called a Leave Travel Allowance bill or LTC receipt — is the travel document a salaried employee submits to their employer when claiming tax exemption under Section 10(5) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Our free LTA receipt generator creates a clean, professional travel bill format with all the standard fields your HR or payroll team expects: ticket number, PNR, route, mode of transport, dates, passenger names, and fare breakdown. Fill the form, download a print-ready PDF, and attach it with your Form 12BB submission.
This page focuses on generating the receipt format itself. The exemption rules — eligibility, block years, mode-of-travel limits, and the new tax regime exclusion — are summarised in the sections below for quick reference. Always verify the latest provisions with your employer or a qualified tax advisor before filing.
What Is a Leave Travel Allowance Receipt?
A Leave Travel Allowance receipt is the documentary proof of travel that a salaried employee in India submits to claim the LTA component of their salary as a tax-free reimbursement. LTA is paid by the employer as part of the CTC structure and becomes tax-exempt only when the employee actually travels within India during a sanctioned leave and provides valid travel evidence.
The terms LTA (Leave Travel Allowance) and LTC (Leave Travel Concession) are used interchangeably and refer to the same Section 10(5) tax benefit. Public-sector employees often use LTC; private-sector employees usually see LTA on their salary slips. The receipt format and rules are identical for both.
What Your LTA Bill Must Contain
A complete LTA receipt has eight standard fields. Our generator pre-fills the layout so you do not miss any of them.
Passenger details
Names of all travellers — employee, spouse, children, dependent parents — exactly as they appear on tickets and boarding passes.
Travel operator details
Name and address of the airline, railway, bus operator, or recognised travel agency that issued the original ticket.
Ticket and PNR number
The ticket reference, PNR, or booking number used for the journey, for traceability against your original ticket.
Route — boarding and destination
Origin city or station, destination city or station, and the route taken. Both legs of a return journey should be documented.
Travel dates
Date and time of departure and arrival for each leg of the journey.
Mode and class of transport
Air, rail, bus, or car. For exemption claims, the class of travel matters: economy class for air, AC first class for rail.
Fare breakdown
Base fare, applicable taxes, surcharges, and total amount paid. The exemption is capped at actual expenses or prescribed limits, whichever is lower.
Number of passengers and seats
Total persons travelling and the seat or berth allocation, especially for rail or bus journeys.
LTA Exemption Rules — A Quick Reference
Disclaimer: This summary is for general informational purposes and reflects the position under the Income Tax Act, 1961, as commonly applied for FY 2024–25. Tax provisions change. Always verify current rules with your employer's payroll team and a qualified Chartered Accountant before filing your return.
Only available under the old tax regime
Section 10(5) LTA exemption cannot be claimed if you have opted for the new tax regime. You can switch back to the old regime at the time of return filing if your employment type permits.
Two journeys per four-year block
You can claim LTA exemption for a maximum of two journeys within a defined block of four calendar years.
Domestic travel only
Only travel within Indian territory qualifies. International travel — including a single foreign leg of an otherwise domestic trip — does not qualify and may disqualify the journey entirely.
Actual travel is mandatory
You must actually undertake the journey. LTA cannot be claimed without genuine travel proof — tickets, boarding passes, or operator invoices.
Travel cost only — no food, hotel, or sightseeing
The exemption applies strictly to the cost of transport (air, rail, road). Hotel stays, meals, local conveyance, and sightseeing are not covered.
Mode-of-travel caps
Air: economy class fare of Air India by the shortest route. Rail: AC first class by the shortest route. Public transport (where rail unavailable): first-class or deluxe fare.
Family included
Coverage extends to spouse, up to two children (born on or after 1 October 1998), and dependent parents and siblings. The employee must accompany the family on the journey.
Form 12BB required
The employee declares LTA claims to the employer using Form 12BB with travel proof attached, typically before the close of the financial year.
LTA Block Years Explained
The Income Tax Department divides time into four-calendar-year LTA blocks. Within each block, you can claim the LTA exemption for two journeys. The blocks run on fixed dates regardless of when you joined your current employer.
The current block is 2022 to 2025. Within this block, you have the right to claim LTA for two journeys. If you have already claimed two, no further LTA exemption is available until the next block begins. If you have only claimed one — or none — there is a carry-forward provision.
Carry-forward rule: If you do not utilise both journeys within a block, one unclaimed LTA can be carried forward — but only to the first calendar year of the next block. After that first year, the carry-forward right lapses. So an unclaimed LTA from the 2022–25 block can be claimed in 2026 (the first year of the next block) but not later.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an LTA receipt?
An LTA receipt is a travel bill that documents the journey expenses incurred by a salaried employee during a leave period. It serves as proof of travel for claiming the Leave Travel Allowance tax exemption under Section 10(5) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The receipt typically includes ticket details, route, dates, mode of transport, passenger names, and fare paid.
What is the current LTA block year in India?
The current LTA block year is 2022 to 2025. Salaried employees can claim LTA exemption for two journeys within this four-year block. If only one journey was claimed, the unutilised LTA can be carried forward to the first calendar year of the next block (2026), but only one such carry-forward is permitted.
Is LTA available under the new tax regime?
No. Leave Travel Allowance exemption under Section 10(5) is available only under the old tax regime. If you have opted for the new tax regime, LTA cannot be claimed. You can switch back to the old regime at the time of filing your Income Tax Return if you want to claim LTA benefits, subject to applicable rules.
What documents do I need to claim LTA?
To claim LTA exemption, you typically submit Form 12BB to your employer along with proof of travel: original travel tickets, boarding passes, train tickets, bus tickets, or invoices from your travel agent. Hotel bills and food expenses are not eligible for LTA. The exact format your employer accepts may vary, so check with your HR before submission.
Does LTA cover international travel?
No. LTA exemption applies only to domestic travel within India. International travel and any portion of a journey that goes outside India is not eligible. If a journey involves both domestic and international segments, only the domestic portion may be considered, and even partial international travel can disqualify the entire journey under some employer policies.
How much LTA can I claim?
The LTA exemption is the lower of the actual travel expenses incurred or the limit prescribed by your employer in your CTC. The exemption is further capped by mode-of-travel rules: economy-class fare of the national carrier for air travel, AC first-class fare by the shortest route for rail, and first-class or deluxe fare for recognised public transport where rail is not available. Accommodation, food, and sightseeing are not covered.
Can I claim LTA for my family?
Yes. LTA covers travel expenses for the employee and immediate family — spouse, up to two children, and dependent parents and siblings. For children born on or after 1 October 1998, the exemption is restricted to a maximum of two children per employee. The employee must accompany the family on the journey for the family's expenses to be claimable.
Is this LTA receipt legally valid?
Our generated LTA receipt produces a clean, standard travel bill format containing all the fields typically required by Indian employers and tax authorities. It is suitable as supporting documentation along with original tickets and boarding passes. The receipt itself is not a substitute for original travel proof and should be submitted alongside actual travel documents. For tax compliance, always verify acceptance with your employer's payroll team and a qualified tax advisor.
