LTC could be availed from Headquarter to Home town and back, not vice-versa.

As per Rule 8 of the CCS (Leave Travel Concession) Rules, "a Government servant whose family lives away from him at his hometown may, in lieu of all concessions under this scheme, including the leave travel concession to visit any place in India once in a block of four years which would otherwise be admissible to him and members of his family, choose to avail of leave travel concession for self only to visit the hometown every year."

In other words, family members can avail the concession only from HQ to home town, not from home town to HQ. However, you can get concession for self every year for home town to visit your family members, as the rule prescribes.
