Important updates have been issued regarding the Leave Travel Concession (LTC) for members of the All India Services. A recent amendment, effective upon its official gazette publication, introduces the All India Services (Leave Travel Concession) First Amendment Rules, 1977. These new regulations revise the existing 1975 rules, specifically by substituting Rule 3, which governs LTC entitlements. Under the updated framework, if a member of the Service is serving in connection with the affairs of the Union, their LTC will now be regulated according to the same standards and conditions applicable to officers of the Central Civil Services, Group ‘A’. Similarly, for those serving in connection with the affairs of a State, their LTC will align with the conditions applicable to officers of the State Civil Services, Class I. A significant provision ensures that the LTC granted to a member serving a State will never be less favorable than what they would have received if they were serving the Union. These changes aim to standardize and clarify the LTC entitlements across different government assignments.
