OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject :- Central Civil Services (Leave Travel concession) Rules,
1988 – Fulfillment of Procedural requirements.
This Department is in receipt of a number of references regarding
the procedural difficulties faced by the Government employees in application
and settlement of the LTC claims. Sometimes, the Government servants claim that
failure to follow the correct procedure was on account of a lack of knowledge
of the rules/instructions while in the other cases the delay is caused in the
late processing of LTC claims.
To remove these bottlenecks, this Department has decided to
simplify the procedure of application and make the procedure of processing of
LTC claims time bound.
The following time-limits shall be followed while processing the
LTC applications/claims of the Government servants.

It may be noted that in cases where the place of posting of the
Government employees is away from their Headquarters, additional 2 days
transit-time may be allowed. The person proceeds on LTC after S.No.1 and 2 i.e.
after ten days of applying LTC.
Under CCS (LTC) Ruler, the Government servants are required to
inform their Controlling Officer before the journey(s) on LTC to be undertaken.

self-certification from the employee regarding the proposed LTC journey.

O.M.
In addition to the above, it has been decided that whenever a
Government servant applies for LTC, he/she may be provided with a copy of the
guidelines (enclosed) which needs to be followed while availing LTC.
Employees may be encouraged to share interesting insights and
pictures, if any, of the destination he/she visited while availing LTC on an
appropriate forum.
Comments of the above proposal may be furnished within 15 days via
e-mail to email address jha.sn@nic.in.
