OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject:- Central Civil Services (Leave Travel Concession) Rules, 1988 – Relaxation to travel by air to visit North East Region, Jammu & Kashmir and Andaman & Nicobar – clarification reg.
The undersigned is directed to refer to this Department’s O.M. of even no. dated 20.09.2018 regarding the relaxation to travel by air on LTC to visit North-East Region (NER), Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) and Andaman & Nicobar Islands (A&N) and to say that as per para 2(v) of the aforesaid O.M., Government employees non-entitled to travel by air are allowed air travel in Economy class subject to maximum fare limit of LTC-80 fare in the following sectors:
(a) Between Kolkata/Guwahati and any place in NER.
(b) Between Kolkata/Chennai/Visakhapatnam and Port Blair.
(c) Between Delhi/Amritsar and any place in J&K.

Journey for these non-entitled employees from their Headquarters up to Kolkata/ Guwahati/ Chennai/ Visakhapatnam/ Delhi/ Amritsar is to be undertaken as per their entitlement.
2. In this regard, several references/RTI applications are received in this Department seeking clarification regarding settlement of LTC claims where a non-entitled Government employee directly travels by air from his Headquarters to the destination in North-East Region (NER), Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) and Andaman & Nicobar Islands (A&N) as opposed to their entitlement.
3. The matter has been examined in this Department in consultation with Department of Expenditure. It has been decided that cases of direct air travel by a non-entitled Government employee on LTC from his Headquarters to the place of visit in NER/J&KJ A&N under the special dispensation scheme, may be regulated as per their rail and air entitlement allowed under the special dispensation scheme of travel by air as under:
“Entitled class rail fare from the Headquarters/place of posting to the nearest relevant railhead (i.e. Kolkata/Guwahati/Delhi/Amritsar/Chennai/ Visakhapatnam) based on the place of visit (in NER/J&K/A&N) + LTC-80 Economy class air fare from the same railhead to the place of visit in NER/J&K/A&N; or the actual air fare from the Headquarters to the place of visit, whichever is less.”
4. In their application to the staff serving in the Indian Audit and Accounts Department, this order issues after consultation with Comptroller & Auditor General of India.

Railway Board,
New Delhi
Dear Sir,
Sub: NFIR PNM pending items – quick redressal of issues – reg.
Although PNM meeting under your chairmanship was held on 25th & 26th April, 2019 and subsequently the pending PNM Items relating to PC-I Directorate were also discussed on 04th June, 2019 in a special meeting, many items are continued to remain unresolved. Many pending PNM Items can also be settled by issuing fomral orders as the demands are within the parameters of norms and logic.
NFIR has also sent fresh PNM Agenda to the Railway Board on 29th May, 2019 as the Federation is eager for formal meetings in quick succession for sorting out the staff grievances through serious dialogue. Some of the demands listed in the fresh Agenda can also be agreed to, straightaway and orders issued by Railway Board without waiting for discussion. The Federation’s request is that the PNM Items which can be agreed without waiting for formal discussion need to be identified and decisions communicated by the Board and this initiative would motive employees.
NFIR, therefore, requests your kind intervention to see that the Railway Board gives greater priority for resolving PNM Items soon.
Federation may kindly be replied of steps initiated on this specific proposal.

Yours faithfully,
(Dr.M.Raghavaiah)
