If LTC is tax-free up to Rs. 50,000, spend it on tourism products: JK Mohanty

JK Mohanty, CMD, Swosti Group, has said that the government last year announced to give LTC amount to people for buying goods and pay GST, the government would help them. “However, I would suggest that LTC should be spent on travel, flying tickets and hotels, if LTC is tax-free up to Rs. 50,000. This would make a lot of people start moving and travel & tourism can start to pick up. This is one of the suggestions, which can be given to the government,” he added.
