Randomly examining airline tickets to stop fraud
All ministries and departments have been urged by the DoPT to prevent any employee misuse of LTC. Any abuse of LTC will be taken seriously, and the workers will be held responsible for taking the proper legal action. Ministries/Departments are advised to randomly request that some of the airline tickets submitted by the officials be verified by the relevant airlines with regard to the actual cost of air travel vis-à-vis the cost indicated on the airline tickets submitted by the officials in order to prevent any misuse of LTC.
