    There is a confusions for grant of Kashmir Valley Special Incentives to employees deployed in Kashmir Valley for temporary duties. As per instructions, it is mentioned that for the period of temporary duty extended to six months, the allowance is admissible along with food Bill. My question is that whether the Kashmir valley special incentives is to be granted for the first six months of temporary duty or beyond six months of temporary duty. Whether employees deployed for less than six months be entitled for Kashmir valley special incentives or otherwise. Kindly interpret and enlighten about the instructions. Cooperation will be highly solicited.

      As per the T.A. rules temporary transfer is only for 180 days. If the transfer continues from the beginning period it will be treated as per the permanent transfer for that the Transfer grant and deputation allowance will be given for the period as per the rules of distance of duty from old station.
