Under Secretary to the Govt. of India
As per the OM dated 27.7.2009 GOI clarified that in all cases of air travel both domestic and international where GOI bears the cost of air passage, the officials concerned may travel only by air India. The doubt is in case any official who is not entitled to travel by air, want to travel by air on LTC or Tour, is it mandatory to travel by air India. He will be reimburse the train fare of entitled class. The fare of air india is more than other private operator like go air, Indigo etc. The official will definitely try to minimise his lose by travelling by private airlines. In such case whether the entire amount paid to private airline will be disallowed or he will be paid the train fare of entitled class.
