The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has clarified that government employees can now travel on additional premium trains under the Leave Travel Concession (LTC) scheme. This decision follows multiple queries from various offices and individuals regarding the eligibility of these trains.
As of Tuesday, January 14, 2025, it has been officially decided that, in addition to the already permitted Rajdhani, Shatabdi, and Duronto trains, government employees are now entitled to travel on Tejas Express, Vande Bharat Express, and Humsafar Express trains under LTC.
This new development expands the options available to government employees, allowing them to access a broader range of premium train services for their travel entitlements.
