LTC Facility For Central Asian Countries

Central Government Employees May Get Allowance To Visit Asian Nations

There is a good news coming for over 48 Lakh Central Government Employees in India. There is a scheme for Central Government Employees known as Leave Travel Concession or LTC. Using their LTC these employees can go for a trip for the number of days granted. They can travel to any destination in India. With the LTC eligible employees are granted a leave and ticket reimbursement. And here is the good news possibly coming their way. Central Government of India is working on a proposal that would allow all the Central Government employees in India to enjoy a foreign trip using their LTC/LTA (Leave Travel Allowance).

When the proposal becomes reality which may happen soon, the central government employees may be able to go abroad on LTC. A proposal for this has been finalised by the Personnel Ministry only a week ago. The work is progressing very fast in this regard. Personnel Ministry has already asked for comments from other departments concerned which include Home Ministry, Tourism, Civil Aviation and Expenditure within the earliest possible time. This plan to allow Central Government employees go abroad on their LTC has been mooted by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). Yes, if this comes true it would allow eligible employees working in central government to go on a foreign trip. And everybody would like to know which foreign countries they would be able to go to as a result of this. Well, the plan, mooted by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has proposed to include five central Asian countries which include Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan under the LTC scheme. If the current proposal is approved, then central government employees will be able to visit 5 Central Asian countries. These 5 Central Asian countries have been included in the proposal with an aim to increase India's footprint in this region which is strategically important for India.

Earlier this year in the month of March a proposal of LTC facility to government employees to visit SAARC countries was there. The proposal came with a purpose to enhance people to people contact and boost relations in the SAARC region. But afterward the proposal was examined by the government and after thorough examination of all aspects involved, it was found that the proposal was not feasible and so it was decided not to take it forward and thus dropped.

So, the importance of this proposal is far and wide for the central government employees. Five Central Asian countries included in the proposal Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan are not only strategically important for India but they are a great travel destination of now and future as well. They are buzzing nation on the tourism circuit. Now the government employees may be able to visit some beautiful cities like Almaty, Astana, Tashkent, Bishkek, Bukhara, Khiva, Dushanbe and more.
