It has however been observed that officers/officials of various Departments are proceeding on foreign visits without obtaining prior permission of the competent authority, in violation of rules/norms, as a consequence of which such cases are recommended for post facto sanction thereby defeating the purpose of an elaborate set of instructions/guidelines notified on the subject. The matter has been viewed seriously by the authorities.

Administrative Secretaries Hobs shall take note of these instructions and take appropriate action against the defaulters and shall not process any case for post facto sanction.
