Leave travel concession - ltc

kumarjainn (Querist) 13 April 2015 This query is : Resolved
sir
the parents are wholly dependent on the govt servant working in delhi. The parents are staying in Home town. they visited delhi and returned to home town. are they entitled for LTC .

The rule is as follows:
It is not necessary for the parents/step-parents /spouse/children to reside with the government servant so as to be eligible for the concession. The concession in their cases shall, however, be restricted to the actual distance travelled or the distane between the headqsuarters of the government servant and the Home town/place of visit, whichever is less.

The parents have travelled to Delhi (i.e. headquarter and returned back) so will the LTC reimbursable amount be zero or can get the total expenditure incurred in LTC.

It would be reimbursed if they are fully dependent upon the government servant.

they are fully dependent on the govt. servant. but they are staying at home town. they came to Delhi (head quarter of govt. employee and then went back) Is any amount reimbursable. As the distance travelled between Delhi to Delhi is zero. The reimbursement amount can be minimum of amount spend and the expenditure incurred from going to delhi from delhi which is nil.

sir
the distance travelled to the destination (Any place in India - i.e. Delhi in this case) for the parents and the distance between Head quarter ie. Delhi to Delhi is zero which is minimum and therefore no amount is reimbursable. pl. advice

The claim is inadmissible in the way suggested i.e. from Home Town to HQ and back. You should make the claim from HQ to Home Town and back.

What do you mean by "THE parents"? Are they not your parents and asking question just for general knowledge?

RAJU O.F., (Expert) 14 April 2015
In the LTC application sanctioned to you, if you had requested for the travel of your wholly dependent parents, then you would be eligible for reimbursement as per entitlement

Pursue the LTC rules and claim for dependent parents for to and from from HQ town.

sir
thanks, the conclusion is that the claim is not admissable.

The amount spent on travel by the parents from their residence to the HQ of the Govt. servant does not fall within the ambit of LTC at all. Tour taken by Govt. servant with his dependents as per relevant rule to any place in India from his HQ is only covered.
