New Delhi, May 19 (PTI): Employees posted in hometowns cannot take leave travel concession (LTC), the Centre has said.
"Government employees whose headquarters or place of posting and hometown are one and the same are not eligible for hometown LTC," an order said.
Such employees also cannot convert their hometown LTC for a special concession scheme to travel to the Northeast, Jammu and Kashmir, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the department of personnel and training said.
However, employees whose headquarters are in Delhi and reside in cities or towns outside the capital but in states part of the National Capital Region (NCR) are eligible for the home-town concession, the order said.
New recruits in government service are required to declare their hometowns to avail themselves of LTC. It allows grant of leave and ticket reimbursement for travel to hometowns.
However, the government has recently allowed employees to visit the Northeast and Jammu and Kashmir, among others, to promote tourism in these regions and increase people-to-people contact.
