Govt. directs random checks to curb LTC fraud
The central government have directed all departments have been asked to carry out random checks of LTC air tickets submitted to stop any misuse of Leave Travel Concession (LTC) claims.

The central government staff have been warned that a "serious" view would be taken of any misuse of LTC claims and appropriate action will be initiated in such cases.

According to rules, any government employee found guilty of preferring a fraudulent LTC claim may be penalised and barred from getting travel allowance for the next two or three years.

CBI has registered at least seven cases to probe fake travel bill cases or 'LTC scam' allegedly involving government employees and present and former Members of Parliament.

The matter of such irregularities came to light following an inquiry by the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) on the alleged misuse of LTC facility by government employees.

Following a preliminary inquiry into the matter, the CVC had written to Cabinet Secretary Ajit Seth citing alleged irregularities and misuse in the availing of LTC by officials of the central government, its public enterprises and public sector banks.

The matter was also referred to CBI for a detailed investigation.
