The central government has provided travel facility in Tejas, Vande Bharat and Humsafar trains under LTC for central employees, as well as 42 days special leave on organ donation.

Good news has come for central employees in the new year. The central government has made a new announcement for travel under LTC (Leave Travel Concession). Now central government employees will also be able to travel in Tejas, Vande Bharat, and Humsafar trains under LTC. This decision is going to prove to be a big benefit for the employees.

Travel facility under the new decision

The Department of Personnel and Training said that now central employees will be able to travel in these modern and comfortable trains. This decision has brought a big relief to the central employees. The department said that this step has been taken after consulting the Expenditure Department.

The facility to travel in some trains was already available

Under LTC, central government employees already got a chance to travel in Duronto Express, Rajdhani Express and Shatabdi Express. On traveling in these trains, the employee used to get the benefit of leave as well as ticket reimbursement. Now Vande Bharat, Tejas and Humsafar trains have also been added to this list.

Purpose and benefits of LTC

The purpose of LTC is to provide paid leave and ticket reimbursement to employees during holidays to travel to their hometown or other parts of India. This facility is available to central government employees under the 7th Pay Commission. This provides financial help to the employees during travel, which is helpful in maintaining balance in their work.

42 days leave on donating organs

Apart from this, the central government has given another gift to the employees who donate organs. Organ donation is a major surgery, so the government has decided to give 42 days special leave to the employees to promote this noble work. This leave will be given to those employees who donate organs.

Under this initiative, the central government has shown a new direction for the welfare of employees, which will help them in balancing health and work.
