Comments
Thanks to Govt to allow their employees to visit J & K by Air from any Private Airlines.
(a) Para (iv) clearly indicates that restrictions on traveling by AirIndia applies to other destinations.This means that to travel to J&K,one can travel by any airlines.Perhaps there could be one restriction: The fair should not exceed that of AirIndia.
(b) All Class-I officers up to Grade pay of Rs.8900 may travel by economy class (even in the highest fare bracket) from their place of work to any place in J&K.If they travel by private airline,the fare should be restricted to that of Air India.Hence the tour packages which were available before 4th December 2008 should now be available specially for J&K.
(c) All Class-I officers above Rs. 10000 Grade pay may travel by executive class from their place of work to any place in J&K.If they travel by private airline,the fare should be restricted to that of Air India.
Similarly, air fare was admissible from duty station to all Group -B offiocers for visiting NE Region. However for this this LTC, it is limited to only those who are eligible for air travel as for tour and in the case of other Group-B officers, , the air fare is admitted only from Delhi or Amritsar .
Will you get these points clarified please !
Because in our department there are employees in B & C group drawing Rs.4800/- as gradepay. Other LTC rule depends the gradepay only.
