    clarifications/modifications in the LTC instructions regarding.

    The undersigned is directed to refer to DoPT's OM No. 31011/11/2015-


    Estt.A-IV dated 12.05.2016 on admissibility of catering charges in respect of rail
    journey performed on LTC and OM No. 31011/12/2022-Estt.A-JV dated
    29.08.2022 regarding booking of Air Tickets on Government Account in respect of
    LTC.

    2. Keeping in view the several references, grievances, etc. in respect of different


    issues flagged in these OMs, the matter has been considered in consultation with
    the Department of Expenditure and decided as below:

    (i) Reimbursement of Catering charges in case of LTC - Keeping in view the


    fact that Indian Railways is now providing options to the traveller to avail
    catering facility or not, it has been decided that wherever employees opt for
    catering services while booking the tickets for the eligible trains for the
    purpose of LTC, the reimbursement of catering charges shall be allowed.

    (ii) Reimbursement of Cancellation charges levied by the airlines/travel


    agents - It has been decided that both types of the cancellation charges, viz.
    (i) cancellation charges levied by the airlines & (ii) cancellation charges
    levied by the three authorized travel agents for utilization of their
    portals/platforms, if any, shall be reimbursed on the ground of official
    exigencies only.

    (iii) Booking of Air tickets through three Authorized Travel Agents viz.
    IRCTC, BLCL & AT'F even in case of the employees not entitled for air
    travel under LTC - It has been decided that the Government employees not
    entitled for air travel but wish to travel by air, are no longer required to
    mandatorily book their air tickets through these three travel agencies viz.
    M/s Balmer Lawrie & Company Limited (BLCL), M/s Ashok Travels & Tours
    (AU), Indian Railways Catering and Tourism Corporation Ltd. (IRCTC) only
    as the reimbursement is restricted to the actual air fare or the entitled
    train/bus fare for the shortest route, whichever is less. In case of
    cancellation of tickets, cancellation charges shall be borne by the
    Government employees concerned. However, in case of Special Dispensation
    Scheme, the Government employees not entitled for air travel under LTC,
    but wish to travel by air to the intended place of visit in NE region, UTs of
    J&K, Ladakh, A & N, are required to book their air ticket through three
    ATAs only.

    3. The claim of reimbursement in respect of LTC journey is to be settled as per


    the above instructions, however the cases which have already been settled, need
    not be reopened.

    Department are concerned, these instructions are issued in consultation with the
