STAFF RULINGS – 88. LEAVE TRAVEL CONCESSION
246. Home town of an employee is connected by train but is not directly connected by Rajdhani/Shatabdi Express trains. In such a case, can the employee be entitled to travel partly by Rajdhani/Shatabdi Express trains and partly by other trains?
Yes. If the journey is actually performed by Rajdhani/Shatabdi trains up to an en route railway station by direct shortest route and thereafter the journey is completed in a train other than Rajdhani/Shatabdi trains, fare for both the types of trains by the entitled class would be admissible for the respective portion of the journey.
247. Whether imposing of penal interest on unutilised balance of TA/LTC advance is compulsory or not?
The refund of advance arises as a result of change of programme, proceeding on short leave, lack of hotel facility, non availability of class of rail/hotel accommodation and the excess drawal of advance is beyond the control of Govt. servant. Hence it is clarified that it is for the administrative authority to satisfy itself, whether to charge penal interest or not in such cases.
