Transport Allowance and Travelling Allowance Rules at a glance

October 24, 2014 admin 10 Comments

In its order last week, the DOPT said that senior officers who have to travel by air for official purposes may not have to submit the boarding passes while settlement of TA claims.

Transport Allowance and Travelling Allowance Rules at a glance 

They will have to henceforth submit the passes only when required. The very next day, the Finance Ministry issued an order that made it mandatory for senior officials to submit boarding passes alongwith TA bills for air journey performed on Government account.At first glance, both transport allowance and traveling allowance might look the same. But, the two are very different for Central Government employees. Recent spate of orders issued by the DOPT and Finance Ministry on TRAVELLING ALLOWANCE was the inspiration behind this write-up.

The concept of Transport Allowance was introduced by the 5th CPC to defray the cost of commuting between residence and office. The 6th CPC while recommending CCA to be subsumed in Transport Allowance. Transport Allowance is given to the Central Government employees for their everyday commute to and from the workplace. Based on their Grade Pay or Band Pay, this could be anything between Rs. 400 to Rs. 3200 per month. It also depends on the population of the city or town where the office is located. Transport allowance is twice the normal amount for physically challenged employees.

Travelling allowance is given to employees who have to travel out of station for official work. There are a number of rules, guidelines and restrictions that control travelling allowance. DOPT and the Ministry of Finance issues amendment orders related to travelling allowances from time to time.

Traveling allowance differs based on the employee’s grade pay. The ‘Grade Pay’ for determing the TA/DA entitlement is as indicated in Central Civil Service(RP)Rules 2008. Depending on the grade pay, the employee has to opt for the appropriate class of accommodation while travelling via bus, train, ship or by aeroplane. The employee can refund only that amount that he is entitlement for. The Finance Ministry order published on 23.9.2008, OM explained the details of the Travelling allowance and entitlements for Government officials as per title given below…
Government officials on Tour : Travelling Allowance and Entitlements, Entitlement for journeys on tour and travel entitlements within the country, International Travel Entitlement, Mileage allowance for journeys by road, Daily Allowance, Travelling allowance on Transfer, Transfer Grant and Packing Allowance, Transportation of Personal Effects, Transportation of Conveyance, Travelling allowance Entitlement of Retiring employees, Lumpsum Transfer Grant and Packing Allowance

Daily Allowance : If the official tour on is of longer duration, then the employee is paid Daily Allowance to meet his boarding and lodging expenses. This too depends on the Grade pay of the employee. This is what is known as TA/DA. While seeking the TA/DA claims, the employee has to present receipts and bills.

In this regard, the notification, that senior officials are not required to submit the boarding passes while seeking settlement of TA claims of their air travel expenses, was confusing.

The order is not applicable to Group ‘C’ employees. But some have misunderstood the order and have assumed that it was for the air travel facility that is available as part of the Leave Travel Concession.

    DA base pension should be given to Central Govt. employee working in PSU. On the other side in some PSU there is giving pension from LIC. But in CDA Scale employee there is not giving promotion, PRP and not giving LIC pension. In LIC pension company contribute 90% of installment to LIC for IDA employee. This is injustice with CDA employee in the same company. . Due to the same all CDA employee are very upset and getting loss in promotion. less salary than juniors.. In IDA scale employee getting benefits just 1.50% more than CDA employee.

    what are the believable and viable logic behind the inadmissibility of TRANSPORT/CONVEYANCE ALLOWANCES etc., to all the WOMEN INCUMBENTS OF THE CGEmployees concerned during their PRE/ POST NATAL PERIODS OF MATERNITY LEAVE? I believe that such transport/conveyance allowances etc., as were ADMISSIBLE TO WOMEN INCUMBENTS OF CGE BEFORE GOING/SANCTIONING OF MATERNITY LEAVE be it either PRE or POST NATAL PERIOD subject to certain limitations etc.,shopuld be made ADMISSIBLE since WOMEN ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR NATION BUILDING BY THEIR SONS/DAUGHTERS’ Brought Up/Birth of their newly born sons/daughters. .[11/01/2015,SUNDAY<23:18:20 Hr/PM/IST] posted by the Chief Patron,EMPLOYEES' ASSN.,CAT-III,O/o.The Principal Accountant General (A&E),WEST BENGAL at no.2,GOVT PLACE (WEST), TREASURY BUILDINGS,Kolkata-700001//9051136661; 9433758756;
