There have been several demands to increase the number of times LTC can be availed, particularly for the “All India” visits. There are requests to extend the LTC to foreign countries as well.

Employees working on islands have raised requests to split the hometown LTC, so that it would be possible to visit families once a year and vice versa. Officers working in Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) have requested for Additional LTC such as that offered to Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs).

Railway employees and officers whose spouses are railway employees have indicated that there are several places that are not connected by rail and visits to these places cannot be scheduled due to the non-availability of LTC. Hence, it was requested to allow the necessary changes to mitigate this issue.

There were requests to split the hometown LTC for employees posted in Ladakh, North East, and Island territories such as Andaman, Nicobar, and Lakshadweep. This would help employees in meeting their families more often.

Demands were also raised for defense forces placed at high altitude, field, and CI Ops regions to be granted an additional free railway warrant. This was also requested to be extended to CAPF personnel and Indian Coast Guards.
