Dear Sir,

Please Send Me rules in detail for leave travel concession.

Dear Sir,
 

Govt. is giving the LTC facility to his employees once in 4 year's block in all india tour. Curbing the entitlement, Economy class Normal fare in air, govt. is not making justice. the recent LTC clarification dated 10th Nov, 2008 is ambiguous and need clear cut instruction. I have the following doubts, which may be replied.

1. Whether the cheapest fare means the lowest fare of Economy Class among the airlines or it is the Flexi fare type air ticket.
2. How to book the tickets if the flight timing of cheapest fare does not suit to the individual.
3. For LTC travel to North East vide O.M. No. 31011/4/2007-Estt.(A) dated 2nd May, 2008 and subsequent clarifications dated 14 th May, 2008 in which Full fare will be admissible to the categories of employees indicated therein. In this connection whether the cheapest economy fare is also applicable for LTC to NE.

Reply: The cheapest fare is NACIL LTC-80 fare applicable for booking of LTC tickets w.e.f. 01-12-2008. Pl check on https://www.indianairlines.in/scriptts/leavetravelconcession.aspx .  I think, condition of cheapest fare is not applicable to NER LTC in lieu of Home Town LTC as both the Min. of Fin. circulars dated 10/11/2008 and 04/12/2008 do not refer the DOPT Circulars dated 02/5/2008 and 14/05/2008.  LTC to NER was allowed by govt. by relaxing the LTC rules on temporary basis for a period of two years to promote the tourism activities in NER and full fare is admissible as per clarification dated 14/5/08.  If condition, of cheapest fare is applied to NER LTC also, then only a few  officials not entitled for travel by air will prefer to avail the facility.  The officers drawing grade pay of Rs.5400 (entitled to travel by air) and availing All India LTC will prefer to visit other places rather than visiting NER which is partially considered as backward and terrorism affected region and the purpose of the Govt. to promote tourisom activities will defeat.  However, this is a personal opinion and clarification by Govt. of India, Min. of Fin./DoPT shall be final.

For cheapest LTC fares started by Indian Airlines w.e.f. 01-12-2008 under LTC-80 scheme please refer to link https://www.indianairlines.in/scriptts/leavetravelconcession.aspx

I have already availed the all India LTC (any where in India) in March 2007 for the block year 2006-2009. 3. Whether a Government officer (Group-A, Gazetted under DRDS) joined in Government service for the first time on or after 1.1.2006 is eligible to go to NER on LTC by converting one or two home town LTC during the block year 2006-2009.

URGENTLY NEED SOME INFORMATION.

SIMILAR TO THE IN LIEU OF HOMETOWN LTC TRAVEL TO NORTH EAST, THE GOVT HAD COME UP WITH A PLAN FOR ANDAMAN ISLANDS IN 2005-2006 FOR A PERIOD OF 6 MONTHS. IT IS HOWEVER RUMOURED THAT THE TRAVEL TO ANDAMAN IN LIEU OF HOMETOWN LTC HAS BEEN FURTHER EXTENDED.

ANYONE HAVING ANY INFORMATION ON THE SUBJECT KINDLY INFORM ME ABOUT THIS ALONG WITH THE GOVT OF INDIA LETTER REFERENCE PLEASE.

My employer has rejected my LTA claim for the FY 2009-10. Can I claim LTA exemption while filing my ITR? If yes, should I inform my employer of the same?

Also, is it correct on the part of employer to reject LTA claim by employee?
