Subject: Guidelines on Air Travel on Official Tours / Leave Travel Concession (LTC) – reg.

   Reference is invited to instructions issued by the Department of Expenditure, Ministry of Finance from time-to-time regarding the procedure for booking of air tickets on Government account. As per existing procedure Government officials/offices can book the air tickets directly from Airlines (at Booking counters / Website of Airlines) and if needed, by utilizing the services of authorized agents. viz. M/s Balmer Lawrie & Company Limited (BLCL) and M/s Ashok Travels & Tours (ATT) [Department of Expenditure OM No.19024/1/2009-E.IV dated 16/09/2010 refers].

Availing of LTC (Leave Travel Concession) in current block year.

   Everyone knows that all central government employees can avail LTC through their respective department and can use this opportunity for travelling to any part India. This concession can be availed in block years.  A block year consists of four calendar years. As far this block year is concerned, this year 2013 is the last year in this particular block year – i.e. 2010-2013.

   Employees can use this opportunity this year itself without waiting for an extension in the next year. In the last couple of years the block years were extended for another one year for the benefit of many of our employees who are not utilizing it properly. In JCM Meetings, Trade unions and Federations are demanding more facilities in LTC like Air Travel from anywhere in India. Now employees can travel to Jammu & Kashmir and North Eastern States by air. The government has informed that only about 20% of the employees are utilizing this concession.

   Going for vacation to different places with family and friends gives the entire family, a fresh atmosphere.  Mingling with friends and other people in different places nourishes our thoughts and minds. In foreign countries, going for a vacation is encouraged very much. To conclude, all central government employees should grab this golden opportunity to travel to any part our country and can enjoy their vacation.

Relaxation for LTC travel by air to visit Jammu and Kashmir- Will it be extended ?

   Relaxation for LTC travel by air to visit Jammu and Kashmir may be extended

   The Central Government Employees had a great Opportunity to visit Jammu and Kashmir by Air through conversion of Home Town LTC. The family members of Central Government Servants, who visited this beautiful state which is named after the Heaven of Earth, enjoyed it very much as it was a wonderful Experience for them. All the dependents  of the Central Government Employees were excited for not only visiting this state, but the mode of journey they were entitled from their duty station or from Delhi/Amritsar to go to this lovely state is an experience like a dream come true. Each and every one who visited Jammu and Kashmir by availing this Concession are very much grateful to the Central Government and it will make them feel pride being a part of Government Service.

   As the last date of this concession for conversion of Home town LTC/ All India LTC to go to Jammu and Kashmir by Air closes by 18th June 2012, the central government employees, those who are not availing this LTC to Jammu and Kashmir Concession before this due date, are feeling misfortune when they were hearing their colleges Jammu Experience. So they should not be let down and they are eagerly expecting that the Government should however extend the relaxation for LTC to Jammu and Kashmir for further Two more years beyond 18th June 2012.

   Sources close to the Government told that Relaxation for LTC travel by air to visit Jammu and Kashmir may be extended for further two more years beyond 18th June 2012 and necessary order will be issued soon.
