An official spokesman on Sunday said that one month's pension as travel concession for visiting any place in the country was admissible to the state government's pensioners in a block of four years.

He said that the first block was 2008-11 and subsequent blocks would be 2012-15, 2016-19 and 2020-23. In case pensioners did not utilise this facility during the first block of four years, they could do so in the first year of the next block of four years up to December 31.
