Example of two mutually exclusive things. Thanks for the lesson

LTA can be claimed only by submitting travel expenses via employer only. I don't think it can be claimed doing tax returns on our own. If claimed high chances of a notice

I mean to say like I am actually ready to pay for someone's travel tickets, etc. And lose a little money in the process. 

I don't want to commit fraud or do illegal activity.

Translation: you do not 'want to' commit it, but in the eyes of the employer and in the eyes of the Ministry of Finance (the Income Tax department), it is a classic 'fraud'.

How can it be legitimate in this day and age of surveillance?

Suppose if some agents or hotels do give fake bookings and stay receipts,
still if one shows air-travel, train travel
then can one replicate the physical presence at the required locations?

Would the devices (phones, tablets, laptops) not give away the reality, if an investigation is done?

Everywhere there are surveillance cameras.
Would one be able to come clean if anyone, someone cross checks?

Suppose I am the hotel owner and I take the GST component in cash, from you.
Someone else gives you fake receipts for travel by road
let us say you booked an Innova and thus norsilways, airport CCTV or actual seat occupancy issues.

Still, would not the highway cameras need to record that the licence plate XYZ 1234 was detected on a route?
Ditto for the GSM cell signals?

Still if you want to do it, then there ARE dedicated syndicates.. since decades, helping PSU employees do what you are asking for.

I am unavailable though, to help anyone in thar direction.
But one can do their own scratching the surface
to find the quagmire of those who provide inflated bills, bills without the need for actual travel.
It is all murky business though.
