OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject:- Revision of time limit
for drawal of advance for the purpose of LTC journey by train.
The undersigned is directed to
refer to this Ministry's O.M. No. 31011/5/98-Estt.(A) dated 30.03.1998
regarding relaxation of time-limit for drawal of LTC advance, wherein it has
been stated that a Government employee can draw advance for LTC journey for
himself and his family members sixty-five days before the proposed date of the
outward journey.
2. Since, the Ministry of
Railways has decided to increase the Advance Reservation Period (ARP) for
booking accommodation in trains from 60 days to 120 days (excluding the date of
journey) w.e.f. 1st April 2015, the time-limit for drawal of LTC advance by the
Government servants may be increased from 65 days (i.e. 2 months & 5 days)
to 125 days (i.e. 4 months and 5 days) in case of journey by train.
3. Cases where the LTC journey is
proposed to be undertaken by other modes of transport viz. air/sea/road, the
time-limit for drawing LTC advance shall remain 65 days only.
4. In all the cases, where an
advance is drawn for the purpose of availing LTC, it will be mandatory for the
Government servant to produce the outward journey tickets to the Competent
Authority within ten days of drawal of advance in order to verify that he has
actually utilised the amount to purchase the tickets.
