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 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.
2.
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.
