LTC Air Ticket for CG Employees enhanced by 80 to 150 per cent by Air India..

  30.85 lakh CG Employees are supposed to use Air  India for their leave Travel concession (LTC).
According to government rules, it is mandatory for all Central government employees to use Air India to avail LTC. The employees, who get LTC twice in four years, can choose to go by air, Railways, roadways or ship.
The Air India website has a special section for LTC Tickets. Bookings can also be done through authorised agents such as state-owned Tourism and travel companies like Ashok Travel and Tours, Balmer and Lawrie and Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation. It has been found that for a ticket booked on November 9 (Sunday) during the evening hours for a Delhi-Hyderabad Air India flight for December 14, a normal one-wa passenger fare was Rs 5,901, which was almost same as those offered by private airlines like Jet Airways, IndiGo and GoAir. However, Air India’s LTC fare was more than double the amount at Rs 13,248 for the same trip.

Similarly, LTC Fares for other domestic and international destinations on November 9, as it has been further discovered, were much higher than normal ones. As LTC ticket bookings are the most lucrative segment for loss-making Air India, over 20 seats on any domestic flight are reserved for such passengers.When contacted, the Air India spokesperson claimed that LTC fares are better than market fares. But the fares shown on the Air India website accessed by the reporter belie that claim.The spokesman further said, “Central government employees also get the benefit of changing their travel schedule or cancelling tickets. The cost of cancelling tickets is very minimal compared to cancellation in case of normal fares. The cost of LTC ticket is more or less the same if you compare with private carriers.”

A senior government official said that while the objective of travelling by Air India seems to be to save money for the government, it actually ends up paying more for LTC.
“The government is losing crores of rupees due to this overcharging by Air India,” he added.
In June, the DoPT) in an order reminded all government employees to buy LTC tickets from Air India. “As far as possible, air tickets on government account may be obtained directly from the Air India (booking counters,  offices,  websites) and if obtaining tickets directly from Air India is not possible, the services of authorised travel agents may be availed of,” the DoPT said in an order. The DoPT order further stated that in several cases, it has been noticed that the instructions are not being followed and as a result, various ministries and  departments continue to make references to DoPT seeking relaxation of the conditions for one reason or the other. DoPT is also cautious about fake presented by government employees.

The collections of indirect revenue mainly excise duty, service tax and customs duties during April-October,2014 was Rs. 2,85,126 crores or 5.6 per cent over the corresponding period the previous year against the Budget target for growth in indirect tax collections 25.8 per cent. 
It is unlikely that the Centre will meet its target from Indirect Tax revenue during this fiscal year.

‘Services exports vital for economy’

Union Finance Minister Shri Arun jaitley said on Wednesday that more jobs should be created in the services sector, in addition to those in the manufacturing sector, so that large sections of the underemployed population in the agriculture sector could get meaningful employment.  He said research and development (R&D), tourism, education and healthcare services had the potential to lead exports growth in the services sector. Exports from the sector were important as they compensated for the deficit in merchandise exports created as India imported more goods that it exported. 
  The Minister said the government was making efforts to raise the share of the manufacturing sector in the GDP from 15 per cent to 25 per cent.
