    Sir, I want to know whether Travel by AIR to the employees having GP 4200 to 4800 (i.e.level 6 to 8) is allowed in case of LTC also. If yes, provide Notification/clarification in the matter please.

  6. LTC entitlement rule is different. Is there any clarification about the applicability such TA entitlement for LTC also ?

  7. 7th CPC TA rules has been published, however regarding LTC rules, the requisite OM is yet to issued by the DoPT. If DoPT takes too much time to publish the same, some Govt Servant may face problems in settling their claims

  8. Kindly clarify the revised entitlement of air travel upto level 6 of VII CPC will apply in case of LTC also
