Home Town LTC
Home Town LTC is for travel to the employee's declared home town as recognised under the applicable rules.
Any Place in India LTC
This concession permits travel to an eligible destination within India, subject to the employee's current block entitlement and travel rules.
Regular four-year block
The CCS (LTC) system works in four-year blocks. The current regular block is 2026–2029.
Do not mix the occasion
Your office sanction and final claim should clearly identify whether the journey is Home Town LTC or Any Place in India LTC.
Declared home town
If your home town record is incorrect or has changed, do not simply travel to a different place and call it Home Town LTC. Follow the prescribed procedure for any permitted change.
Family can travel separately in permitted cases
LTC rules contain provisions covering family travel, including circumstances where family members may travel separately. Obtain office confirmation for the exact case before booking.
Claim only admissible fare
LTC reimburses admissible travel expenditure under the rules; it is not an unrestricted travel allowance. Hotel, sightseeing and other personal costs are not automatically part of LTC reimbursement.
