Demands on LTC

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 the 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 a certain number of their free passes. Similar sentiments have also been expressed by employees whose spouses are Railway employees.

According to the grade, a Central Government employee can travel by Air and train travel in AC Coaches with their dependents. [View detail]

7th CPC 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 this 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.

  1. LTC for hometown
    I am a Central Govt. employee in Mumbai.
    I am entitled to Air Travel for LTC.
    My hometown is Daltonganj in Jharkhand but there is no airport in Daltonganj.
    The nearest airport is in Ranchi which is 170 km from my Hometown,
    I intend to take a Mumbai – Kolkata flight and thereafter the Kolkata-Daltonganj train for reaching my Hometown.
    Similarly, I plan to return by taking the Daltonganj-Patna train and thereafter the Patna-Mumbai flight.
    Can I claim LTC for my hometown for my above journey?
    Will there be any objection to finalizing the claim?

The Jabalpur New Delhi flight reaches New Delhi at 8.20 P.M. and the connecting Air India flight from New Delhi to Kolkata flight is on next day morning at 6.50 A.M.. Thus one has to stay one night at New Delhi in some hotel to catch the flight to Kolkata on next morning, which will be an added financial burden as hotel expenditure is not reimbursable during LTC. Under the circumstances during LTC what is the procedure for availing the flight of private airlines which have direct flight from Jabalpur to Kolkata

I still can’t understand why we like employees are ineligible for home town ltc where as people whose home town is different from the place of posting are eligible to use the so called ltc to places other than their home town. And why can’t we go to places like j&K, north east

    • In the service period one time HOME TOWN can be changed in service recors with applicable terms & conditions of LTC Rules. If you are not availed 2 Home Town in every 2 years you can avail ALL INDIA LTC for the block of every 4years in any place of India. Moreover some exemptions are there to avail to J&K North East sections.

    I am a Central Govt. employee posted at Jabalpur. My B.Pay is Rs.56900/- in Level 7. As per Gazette Notification for 7th CPC Allowances published on 6th July 2017 CG employees from Level 6 to 8 were entitled to travel by air. On 11th July 2017 the official concerned had clarified that, the modified travel entitlement will be extended to LTC also.() Swamy handbook 2018 has also published the entitlement as above.
    I had availed LTC for the block year 2016-17 for myself and family from Jabalpur to Cochin via Delhi purchasing Air India tickets under LTC 80 on 09/08/2017 which was much costlier than the normal tickets in the same flight and had performed my journey from 25/08/2017 to 17/09/2017. I had taken LTC advance from the office for purchasing air tickets and had submitted by adjustment bill immediately after completing return journey for claiming the balance amount.
    Vide O.M. No.31011/8/2017-Estt.A-IV dated 19th Sept 2017 it is clarified that the travel entitlements by air for Level 6 to 8 is only for TA and not for LTC.
    Sir, kindly inform how my claim will be settled as I had already performed the journey before 19/09/2017 purchasing costly LTC 80 tickets. Is there any order for settling such claims. Kindly guide me as to what should I do now regarding this claim. Please help me.

  120. For Central Govt employees during LTC Travel only by govt Vehicles/public sector transportation is allowed. It is not fit because most of the time in Railways and in Public Sector’s road Transport accommodation does not available due to which a great inconvenience raised to plan the LTC tour. If government allow travel by any means (either through Government/Public Sector or Private Sector) Number of tourist raised many times. Presently most of the people travel through Private Sector’s transport. Expenditure for this travel can be managed by many ways:-
    – to fix Different Distance Routes as to & fro 4000/6000/8000 kms
    Payment can be made to an Employee as per his Entitlement of Railway.

  126. Dear Admin, I wish to raise a valid point regarding present LTC Rules applicable for Central Govt. employees. Thousands of Central Govt. employees are working in different Central Govt. departments with their spouses in Indian Railways. As per present LTC Rules, if a government servant or his spouse is working in In Indian Railways, he would not be entitled for LTC facility. In Indian Railway, maximum benefit an employee can get is 2 AC travel facility whereas their spouses in various central government departments are entitled for Air travel facility. But, thousands of employees are not in a position to avail this Air travel facility because of abovementioned clause in LTC rules. Therefore, the point I want to raise is that relaxation in LTC rules needs to be made for such employees whose spouses are employed in Indian Railways in such a way that they should have the freedom to choose between air travel or rail travel. The present restriction in this respect should be withdrawn and necessary amendment as suggested here should be introduced. This will help thousands of Central Govt. employees. If possible, this suggestion may be brought to the notice of 7h PC.
