One more demand acceded - Hotel Charges revised

Vide our letter to the ED (Personnel) dated 3rd September 2012, we had demanded increase in lodging charges at hotels during official tour. The relevant portion of the letter is reproduced below:

"We would like to bring to your kind notice regarding the following issues, where we feel that a substantial revision is overdue:-

1.      Revision in limit of re-imbursement of lodging charges at hotels to employees on official tour: - This limit was last revised on 1^st December 2008. Thus, a period of almost 4 years has elapsed."

Thereafter, we made regular follow-up for it.

We are pleased to announce that LIC management accepted our above demand and has revised lodging charges at hotels on official tour w.e.f. 01.01.2013 vide their Circular No: CO/PER/ER-A/016/2012 dated 24/12/2012.
