This Directorate has sought
clarification from the Nodal Ministry regarding reimbursement of LTC
claims where a part of the journey (be it in the beginning, middle or
end) has been performed by the Government servant by unauthorized mode
of transport (private bus/private taxi etc.) and rest of the journey to
the declared place of visit by authorized mode of transport.
2. The Nodal Ministry has issued following clarification:
(I) DOP&T’s OM no. 31011/3/2015-Estt. (A.IV) dated 09.02.2017
provides that cases where a Government servant travels on LTC upto the
nearest airport/railway station/bus terminal by authorized mode of
transport and undertakes rest of the journey to the declared place of
visit by private transport/ own arrangement (such as personal vehicle or
private taxi etc.), may be dealt with as follows:-
(a) In all such
cases the Government servant may be required to submit a declaration
that he and the members of the family in respect of whom the claim is
submitted have indeed travelled upto the declared place of visit.
(b) If a public
transport is available in a particular area, the Government servant will
be reimbursed the fare admissible for journey by otherwise entitled
mode of public transport from the nearest airport/railway station/bus
terminal to the declared place of visit by shortest direct route.
(c) In case, there
is no public transport available in a particular stretch of journey, the
Government servant may be reimbursed as per his entitlement for journey
on transfer for a maximum limit of 100 kms covered by the
private/personal transport based on a self-certification from the
Government servant. Beyond this, the expenditure shall be borne by the
Government servant.
(II) In view of the above provisions, a
Government Employees shall get fare reimbursement in cases where the
initial or end part of the LTC journey from the source/destination to
the nearest railhead/airport or vice-versa, as the case may be, has been
performed by a private/personal mode of transport while the major part
of the journey from the nearest railhead/airport has been performed by
the authorized mode of transport.
3. Taking into account the advice of the
Nodal Ministry in this regard, action may kindly be taken in similar
cases only on the basis of the above advice and in any case of deviation
from the above, the advice of the Directorate may be sought for.
