For central government employees in India, leave travel concession (LTC) is one of the benefits that employers get from their employment. Leave travel concession rules are thus important to be aware of if you work for the central government of India. Some alterations have been effected (compared to the previous rules) and these are vital to know about if central government employees wish to avail concessions to travel to different parts of India or visit their hometown. Furthermore, there is a new set of rules as regards LTC rules, related to the entitlement of air travel for Level 6 and Level 8 cadre officers of the central government’s pay scheme.
LTC is granted to employees of the central Indian government for travel to many parts of India and for visits to the employee’s hometown. In the purview of the rules, the number of visits to the hometown that are permitted is two. This stipulation is allowed every four years. One of the visits to the hometown may be exchanged for travel to any other location if that is required. Such LTC rules are not applicable to employees of the railways as they get other concessions based on rail travel.
