Sub: Clarification on purchase of Air Tickets from unauthorized agents for non- entitled officials to travel by air
Kindly refer to DoP&T letter No.31011/3/2015-Estt(A.lV) dated 18/02/2016 wherein it is mentioned under points 14 & 15 that Govt employees not entitled to travel by air, may travel by any airline. However, reimbursement in such cases shall be restricted to the fare of their entitled class of train/transport or actual expense, whichever is less. In all cases whenever a Govt servant claims LTC by air, he/she is required to book the air tickets either directly through the airlines or through the approved travel agencies viz M/s Balmer Lawrie & Co. Ltd/ M/s Ashok Tours & Travels Ltd/ IRCTC. Booking of tickets through any other agency is not permissible.
This is for your information, guidance and necessary action please.

My brother suggested I may like this blog.
He was entirely right. This submit actually made my day.
You can not believe just how so much time I had spent for this info!
Thank you!
The said clarifications do not speify. Why non entitled personmel book thier air ticket through authorised travel agents only. Whereas their entitlement is only train fare or actual expenditure, whichever is less.. Also, no loss to exchequre as the reimburshment is restricted to entitled class rail fare or actual expenditure made by individual. If they have to booke their air tickets through govt. Authorised agents then reimubursment is to made only actual expenditure made by individual on air journey.
