  1. FCI Authority is allowing its employees to avail LTC to J&K by AIR in economy class only against conversion of one block of Hometown LTC.
    But in general case of LTC(Bharat-darshan),travelling by AIR in economy class from Delhi/Amritsar to any place in J&K is not allowed.
    CLARIFICATION IS SOLICITED......
