Leave Travel Concession (LTC)-Central Government Employees Reimbursement
Leave Travel Concession (LTC)-Central Government Employees Reimbursement
Bhubanewar/New Delhi: The Central government employees will not get daily allowance on Leave Travel Concession (LTC).
The LTC allows the grant of leave and ticket reimbursement to employees who are entitled under the rules to travel to their home towns and other places. Employees were earlier entitled to an allowance which varied with their ranks.
Any incidental expenses and the expenditure incurred on local journeys shall not be admissible under LTC, read a statement issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) on Wednesday.
However, if the employees travel by premium or suvidha trains and services such as tatkal will now be allowed on LTC. “Further, reimbursement of tatkal charges or premium tatkal charges shall also be admissible for the purpose of LTC,” the order said.
Meanwhile, the new rules will be applicable from July 1, 2017
The release further clarified: “Flexi fare (dynamic fare) applicable in Rajdhani/ Shatabdi/Duronto trains shall be admissible for the journey(s) performed by these trains on LTC. This dynamic fare component shall not be admissible in cases where a non-entitled government servant travels by air and claims reimbursement for the entitled class of Rajdhani/Shatabdi/Duronto trains.”
Reimbursement for the purpose of LTC shall be admissible for journeys performed in vehicles operated by the government or any corporation in the public sector run by the central or state government or a local body, the DoPT order said.
In case of a journey between places not connected by any public means of transport, the government employee will be allowed reimbursement for journey on transfer for a maximum limit of 100km covered by the private/personal transport based on self-certification.So, from now on, the expenditure shall be borne by the government servant.
The move follows the implementation of recommendations of the 7th Central pay commission relating to Travelling Allowance (TA) entitlements of central government employees. The TA rules have undergone changes. The travel entitlements of government servants for the purpose of LTC shall be the same as TA entitlements, it further said.
On the other hand, the government is likely to revise the minimum pay of the 4.8 million Central government employees, but news making rounds is the Narendra Modi-led BJP government will not grant arrears on the revised higher minimum pay.
The government is ready to hike the minimum pay under the 7th Pay Commission to Rs 21,000 from the present Rs 18,000 by raising the fitment factor 3 times from 2.57 times. If the new pay comes into effect, the employees will get the benefit from January next year, but… “without arrears on the hike”.

Equality of opportunity to perform is the backbone of healthy competition

7th Pay commission to recommend pay parity of Railway officers with IAS officers
New Delhi/Hyderabad: Apprehending that the seventh central pay commission may restore parity between different government services in terms of compensation and career progression, Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers have shot off many letters to the department of personnel and training opposing any such move.
More than 100 letters from IAS officers of different cadres and batches have been sent to the secretary of department of personnel and training in the last few days, just a few weeks before the seventh pay commission submits its report to the government, according to two people familiar with the development.
Mint has seen a few of these letters, which highlight the deep rivalries between the cadre of various All India services.
The seventh pay commission, headed by retired Supreme Court judge Ashok Kumar Mathur, is expected to submit its report in the third week of November.
The common thread across these letters is a demand to maintain the edge that IAS officers get when it comes to pay and empanelment compared with other serviecs such as the Indian Revenue Service and Indian Police Service.
Dismissing the argument by the other services that they too qualify for recruitment after taking the same exam, IAS officers point out that they were empanelled in IAS as they performed better in the Civil Service Exams than their counterparts in the other services.
“Equality of opportunity to perform is the backbone of healthy competition but equality of rewards irrespective of one’s performance is an antithesis to the whole idea of competition,” said one of the letters.
Another letter drew parallel to the recent world championships where Jamaican Usain Bolt won the 100 metres race by 0.01 second. “Can the silver medallist now claim that he should also be given a gold medal because he lost out so narrowly?” the letter questioned.
There are around 4,500 IAS officers and a majority of the country’s top policymaking positions currently are held by officers of this cadre. Most of the posts of joint secretary and above are dominated by IAS officers.
IAS officers also pointed out that they did not bargain for pay and rank parity when they chose the service that requires them to work long hours, and often in remote locations. They added that it will be unfair if the latest pay commission and the Union government decide to apply parity among different services “retrospectively” because they did not bargain for it when they opted for IAS.
One of the two persons cited in the first instance pointed out that 99% of civil services aspirants target the prestigious IAS cadre. “But if the seventh pay commission recommends bringing all central services on par with IAS, its charm would be lost and administrative service will no longer attract the brightest talent,” he said.
To be sure, officers who belong to other services such as Indian Police Service (IPS), Indian Forest Service (IFoS), Indian Revenue Service (IRS), Indian Railway Accounts Service (IRAS) and others do not agree with this claim of their IAS counterparts having an “edge”. The officers from these services have been actively demanding pay parity with IAS and Indian Foreign Service Officers and have made representations to the seventh pay commission.
As per their arguments, an IAS or an IFS officer gets Rs.4,000-5,000 a month more than officers belonging to other services after four years of service, which goes up toRs.15,000–16,000 per month by the 14th year and Rs.18,000-20,000 per month by the 17th year of service.
That’s because IAS and IFS officers are accorded additional increments at 3% each over their basic pay.
In its representation to the seventh pay commission, the Indian Civil & Administrative Service (Central) Association, the representative body of IAS officers, demanded that the salary structure of the officers should be comparable to private sector packages. The letter proposed benchmarking the salaries of the officers with the private sector’s salaries but with a discount to factor in the “public service” component.
“It is a matter of opinion as different services will have different opinions (about pay parity and opportunities for higher posts). But there is a sound case for reforming the colonial system (of services), which we continued with after independence. Even today, some people who are eligible for IAS in civil services examinations prefer customs and revenue for more money,” said constitutional expert Subhash Kashyap, referring to the corruption that’s associated with those services.

Further extension to 7th Pay Commission would make stronger case for Interim relief
Further extension to 7th Pay Commission would make stronger case for Interim relief
Central government employees were expecting report of seventh pay commission to be out by the end of August. But at the last moment pay commission sought one month extension and government has given four months extension creating doubts in the minds of several lakhs government employees whether report will be submitted before the deadline of implementation of seventh pay commission or not. Deadline of implementation ends on 31.12.2015 and 7th CPC report is required to be implemented on 01.01.2016 any delay in implementation would invite demands of Interim relief from various quarters of central government employees.
As we all know, the central ministry has extended the time period for submission of the 7th pay commission report for another four months. Days before this was announced, newspapers reported that 7th pay commission report will be submitted in another one or two months. The 7th CPC report may be submitted any time within this four-month period.
If the report is submitted at the end of December, the implementation of the 7th CPC may actually take some more time. In this situation, can we get an interim relief? This is a million dollar question but government would not like to pay any interim because it has already geared itself up to implement pay commission on 01.01.2016. Any extra money on pay commission may disturb all calculations done by Ministry of Finance. Interim will put extra burden on MOF which it seems is in no mood to give neither interim nor any kind of arrears. In all probabilities government likely to implement pay commission on time. Pay commission has also no reason left for further delays because it’s chairman Justice Mathur has already stated that extension was taken only due to some delayed inputs from government side rather than delay in preparation of report. Report is already on the final stages and by this time final dressing up of report might be going on. According to our sources by the end of September report would be ready to be submitted any time. MOF may take a month or two before taking final call on the report. Therefore report of seventh pay commission will be implemented on time i.e. 01.01.2016. In a response to a question raised in the Rajya Sabha, government has already clarified that there would be no need for an interim relief as the 7th CPC will be implemented in time without any delay. But now, in the present scenario, the Central government employees expect an interim relief.
