Clarification on LTC to NER by employees of Defence Accounts working in their home town

Citing DOPT’s stand to allow Government Employees to travel to NER and J&K by air by converting their home town or All India LTC, following clarifications were sought for with Controller of Defence Accounts, by the employees working under the Controller of Defence Accounts.

(i) Whether an individual who is not entitled to Home Town Concession (due to his Hqrs and hometown being same) can convert his All lndia LTC to visit NER&K, and,

(ii) Whether he will be allowed to travel by air to NER/J&K on conversion of his All india LTC (being non-entitled to travel by air) or not.

In respect of above queries Controller of Defence Accounts clarified vide its clarification letter AN/XIV/14162/VI th CPC/circular/vol:IV dated 28.12.2011, that a Government Employee can avail All India LTC to visit J&K by air and those who are not entitled to travel by air may be allowed to travel by air to a city in the J&K from Delhi or Amritsar.  And journey up to Delhi/Amritsar will have to be taken as per the entitlement.

However clarification sought for relating to LTC to NER by employees of defence accounts was not replied in the clarification letter dated 28.12.2011.
