Rules (Cat. No. C-11).

Our pioneer venture of Swamy’s Leave Rules Made Objective and the
following titles Swamy’s Discipline Rules Made Objective and LTC Rules Made
Objective were a grand success and became very popular among our customers
very soon.

The rules governing Leave Travel Concession are just 19 in number but the
amount of doubts that are raised during its interpretation have been clarified
giving way to a number of Government of India’s decisions. The questions in
this book have been drafted in such a way to cover all the rules and decisions.
Answers to questions are given at the end of this book. For reference purposes,
the corresponding Rules and Government of India’s Decisions are quoted with
the answers. They are based on the forty-sixth edition of Swamy’s Compilation
of Central Civil Services (Leave Travel Concession) Rules.

The answers to questions are based on the provisions prevailing on the


date of publication of this book.

Suggestions for improvement and rectification of errors will be gratefully


accepted.
