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

ADDITIONAL LTC BENEFITS TO NEWLY RECRUITED CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
Leave Travel Concession for Central Government employees in
general provides for reimbursement of fare entitled to the employee and
his / her family concerned for the travel to home town twice in four
years or to a place any where in India in lieu of one home town travel
concession once in four years.
As far as newly recruited Central
Government Employees are concerned, LTC Scheme provides for some
additional benefits which are discussed in this article.
LTC Scheme after implementation of Sixth Pay Commission report – Benefits to Fresh Recruits in the form of additional LTC trips
LTC Rules amended after implementation of sixth pay commission provides certain more Benefits to Fresh Recruits in the form of
allowing additional home town trips under LTC (after completion of one
year of continuous service in central government service)
As per the amendment made
in Rule 8 of LTC Rules, Fresh recruits to Central Government may be are
allowed to travel to their home town along with their families on three
occasions in a block of four years and to any place in India on the
fourth occasion.
This facility shall be available
to the Government officers only for the first two blocks of four years
applicable after joining the Government for the first time. In other
words after completion of one year of continuous service in Central
Government service one can avail LTC for three Home town trips and one
All India trip in each of two LTC blocks that fall in in the first eight
years of Government service
The blocks of 4 years shall apply with
reference to the initial date of joining the Government even though the
employee changes the job within Government subsequently. The existing
blocks will remain the same but the entitlements of the new recruit will
be different in the first eight years of service.
After grant of this additional
LTC benefits to fresh recruits, doubts were raised whether this
additional benefits can be allowed Central Government Employees who have
joined in the Government Service prior to 23.09.2008 (i.e. before the date of issue of OM) but yet to complete 8 years of service.
Later, DOPT clarified in this
aspect to the effect that all Government servants who have not completed
8 years of service as on 01.09.2008 would be entitled for the LTC
benefits available to fresh recruits.
Married and unmarried Central Government Employees can travel to home availing LTC once a year in one block of 4 years:**
This benefit was available even
prior to implementation of sixth pay Commission. Under this clause,
Married and unmarried Central Government Employees can travel to home
availing LTC once a year in one LTC block of 4 years. There is no
restriction in the form of number of years of service to avail LTC in
this clause. However, this LTC for travel to home town once a year in
the block of 4 years restricted to employee only. The family of the
employee is not entitled LTC under this clause.
However, following conditions are to be satisfied in order to avail additional Home Town Trips in one LTC block:
1.The family of Central Government Employee should be living away from him/her at her/his home town.
2.No
other LTC claim including LTC to all India and home town can be made by
the employee for self and his/her family in the LTC block.
(** It is just an assumption that
family of fresh recruits would usually be away from him/her at his/her
home town. In fact this facility is available all central government
employees whose family is at home town. There is no restriction in the
form of number of years of service completed)
