Clarification on LTC to Jammu and Kashmir

We all know that Government has relaxed certain conditions when a government employee proceeds on Leave travel concession to Jammu and Kashmir and North East Regions.

One of such relaxations is, the home town LTC which is allowed once in two years in a LTC block year of 4 years, can be converted in to LTC to these states in addition to one All India LTC in block of 4 years.

However, the home town of the Government employee who is availing this concession should not be his place of working.

Now, Clarification is sought in this regard in the department of defence accounts to the effect that whether the government employee who is not entitled for conversion of home town LTC to LTC to J&K, will be eligible to convert his/her All India LTC as LTC to J&K and whether while such travel is made the government employee is entitled for air travel as in the case of employee who are entitled to travel by air while availing LTC to J&K.

The controller of defence has provided the following clarification in this matter by referring the DOPT Office Memorandum No:  31011/4/2007-Estt(A) dated 02.05.2008 and OM No. 31011/2/2003-Estt.(A-IV) dated 18.06.2010

    Query : Reg. LTC

    1) I am a Central govt employee. My home town is Chennai. Born and brought up in Chennai. My parents and my inlaws born in Virudhunagar, but all were settled in Chennai. Can I change my home town to Virudhunagar( already home town given as Chennai Officially).?? If so, any proof to be submitted?

    2) Since home town and hqrs is same for me(Chennai), Can I change my LTC to home twn to LTC to all India ?

    1. Home Town declaration can be changed once with all documentary proof (such as birth Certificate, your family property tax bill, EB bill etc, Telephone bill etc. There is no prescribed documents for this. Your head of office should satisfy himself before allowing change of home town)

      There is no problem in converting your home town concession to one all India LTC once in a 4 year block. But as far as LTC to NER, J&K by converting one home town in addition to LTC to all India Conversion will not be permitted
