No. 10760-F Calcutta, the 9th September, 1983
MEMORANDUM
Sub. Leave Travel Concession.
Under the existing rules a Government servent, who due to exigencies of public service or otherwise is not in a position to avail himself of the Leave Travel Concession but still wants to of the same for his/her family, is not entitled to avail of such benefit of L.T.C.
Representations have since been received to do away with this restriction in the existing rules.
After careful consideration of the matter, the Governor has been pleased to decide that:
(1) The family members need not compulsorily accompany the Government servent, they will get the concession independently irrespective of whether the Government servant avails himself of it or not. The members of the family may either travel together or separately in different groups as may be convenient to them.
(2) Where a Government servant and his family perform journeys separately, in different groups at different times there may be no objection to their presenting separate claims, provided the journeys are performed during the currency of the period during which it is due.
(3) While availing of the concession to visit "any place in India", a Government servant and/or member(s) of his/her family may visit the same place or different places of their choice.
(4) In so far as they are relevant and applicable, the above decisions will apply in respect of Leave Travel Concession as sanctioned in both of this Department Memo. No. 5471-F, dated 27-12-61 (Para. 16 thereof) and Memo. No. 3430-F, dated 2-5-81, subject to fulfilment of necessary conditions.
