7th Central Pay Commission LTC Rules

7th CPC LTC Rules

HOME TOWN FOR LTC: Every new entrants in Government service is required to declare his / her home town to avail the benefits of Leave Travel Concession.

The term “Home” was defined for the first time in MHA’s O.M.No.43/1/55-Estt (A) Part-II dated 11th October, 1956.

This was further clarified vide O.M.No.43/5/57 dated 11th February, 1958, wherein, it was stated that an Officer who is his own Controlling Officer for purposes of travelling allowance should make the initial or any subsequent declaration of his town to his next superior administrative authority for acceptance.

This procedure should also be followed in cases where declaration have already been sent direct to the Account Officers concerned by officers who are their own controlling officers.

The Comptroller & Auditor General and Secretaries to Government will, however, communicate the initial declaration of home towns as well as any subsequent declaration for a change therein direct to the Accounts Officers concerned.

Heads of Departments and Ministries are advised, for the purpose of administrative convenience, to forward to the respective Accounts Officers a list of all concerned Gazetted Officers who are eligible for the concession together with their approved home towns.

3. “Home Town” was further defined / elaborated vide O.M.No.43/15/57-Estt (A) dated 24th June, 1958 which lay down the criteria to determine whether the Government servant declaration may be accepted as under:-

i. Whether the place declared by the Government servant is the one which requires his physical presence at intervals for discharging various domestic and social obligations, and if so, whether after his entry into service, the Government servant had been visited that place frequently.

ii. Whether the Government servant owns residential property in that place or whether he is a member of a joint family having such property there.

iii. Whether his near relations are resident in that place.

iv. Whether, prior to his entry into Government service, the Government servant had been living there for some years.

4. Rule 5 of CCS (LTC) Rules, 1988 states that the once declared and accepted by the Controlling Officer shall be treated as final.

In exceptional circumstances, the Head of the Department or if a Government servant himself is the Head of the Department, the Administrative Ministry may authorize a change in such a declaration provided that such a change shall not be made more than once during the service of the Government servant.

5. In case of any request of change of home town any of the above mentioned criteria in para 3 is to be met. The criteria need be applied one after the other till any of them is met.

6. The Officer who is his own Controlling Officer for purposes of travelling allowance should make the initial or any subsequent declaration of his home town to his next superior administrative authority for acceptance.

This procedure should also be followed in cases where declarations
have already been sent direct to the Accounts Officers concerned by officers who are their own Controlling Officers.

The Comptroller and Auditor General and Secretaries to Government will, however, communicate the initial declaration of home towns as well as any subsequent declaration for change therein direct to the Accounts Officers concerned.

7th Pay Commission Recommendations on Leave Travel Concession (LTC): 

LTC is granted to Central Government employees to facilitate home travel as well as travel to different parts of the country. Presently two hometown visits are allowed in a block of four years with one hometown visit substitutable with “All India” visit. However, for the first two 4-year blocks, three hometown visits and one “All India” visit are permissible.

There are demands to increase the frequency of LTC, especially of the “All India” visit, and extend LTC to foreign countries also. Personnel posted on islands have requested the Commission that splitting of hometown LTC may be permitted so that their families can visit them from the mainland once a year and they (the employees) can also travel to the mainland once a year to visit the family.

Personnel of Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) have sought parity with other CAPFs for facility of Additional LTC. Railway employees have strongly represented that there are many places that are not connected by rail and in absence of LTC, they are not able to visit these places.

Hence they should be allowed the facility of LTC in lieu of certain number of their free passes. Similar sentiments have also been expressed by employees whose spouses are Railway employees.

Analysis and Recommendations: 

Extension of LTC to foreign countries is not in the ambit of this Commission.

The proposal to split hometown LTC has merit and can be considered. Hence, it is recommended that splitting of hometown LTC should be allowed in case of employees posted in North East, Ladakh and Island territories of Andaman, Nicobar and Lakshadweep. This will enable these employee and their families to meet more often.

Presently, personnel of Defence forces serving in field/high altitude/CI Ops areas are granted one additional free railway warrant. This should be extended to all personnel of CAPFs and the Indian Coast Guard mutatis mutandis.

The facility of Additional LTC should be extended to SSB personnel, at par with other CAPFs.

Regarding bringing Railway employees (and employees whose spouses are Railway servants) into the fold of LTC, the following is recommended:

a. No hometown LTC will be admissible to Railway employees, only “All India” LTC will be granted once in four years.

b. For the grant of LTC, all passes for the current year will have to be surrendered.

c. If the employee has already availed of a pass in any year, then LTC will not be allowed in that year.

d. If both spouses are Railway servants, then surrender of passes of any one of them will suffice.

e. For the purposes of this allowance, year means Calendar year.

All eligible Central Government Employees can avail advance up to 90% of the fare on LTC
