References are being received in this Department seeking clarification for admissibility of LTC claims of Government officials in cases where the air fare paid for travel by Air India happens to be less than LTC-80 class of Air India. It is clarified that reimbursement of air fare lower than LTC-80 air fare of Air India will also be admissible for journeys performed by Air India under LTC as the intention is to ensure that the LTC claim should not in any case , exceed LTC-80 fare of Air India.

The CDA is now asking Officers to furnish proof of the current LTC 80 fare when claiming apex fares other than LTC 80 else CDA restricts it to fares that had last been formally announced in Jan 2009. Officers are required to get endorsement from the AI on their tickets or some other form of proof from AI about LTC 80 fare on the date of travel!! IS there any such listing of fares (official) that can be submitted??
