Point of doubt

HQrs views / clarification

(i) Whether Daily Allowance is uniform for all Classes of cites.

No classification of cities for Daily Allowance is given in the OM. Therefore it is uniform for all classes of cities.

(ii) Whether Daily Allowance will be paid during journey period.

It is clarified in MoF letter No. 19030/3/2008-E,IV dated 19 Nov 08 that Daily Allowance in monetary terms is no longer admissible to Central Govt employees, hence actual expenditure incurred within the prescribed limits will be reimbursed as per normal procedure of reimbursement, for period of tour.

(iii) Whether any advance on a/c of Hotel charges, food bill taxi fare etc may be paid.

Advance of Traveling Allowance is admissible under provisions of Rules 48 to 51 of Compendium of Advances contained in GFR. This advance may include elements of Daily Allowance. These orders continue to remain in force.

(iv) whether hotel/guest house should be registered / recognised.

Note 1 below GOI decision 1 below SR 51 clarifies that for stay in a Hotel, the Government servant must have Stayed in an establishments registered/licensed as a hotel, by proper authority. This continues to be in force.

(v) Whether cash receipt / Cash memo will be mandatory in support of the claims.

Yes, as clarified in MoF letter No. 19030/3/2008-E.IV dated 19 Nov 08 actual expenditure incurred within the prescribed limit will be reimbursed as per normal procedure of reimbursement.

 

Note :- Attention is drawn to MoF Department of Expenditure OM No.19030/3/2008-E.IV dated 22/01/Q9 Circulated vide HQrs letter No.AT/IV/4026/Orders (Civ) dated 16 Feb 09 vide which option of availing DA at old rates has been given.

    sir,
    i would like to state situation of which conveyance allowance is not given in that month.
    as teaching staff of central gov. schools have 2 months holidays during summer from 1 may to 30 june (28th june is reporting date). i was relieved from the school on 25th of june for attending a training session. as i got telephonic message from the U.D.C. about the training i personally approached to the office to collect the order from my home town.
    when i came back to the school after training i found no conveyance allowance is given. reason was i was not present at the head quarter. sir actually i was performing my duty at the training station.
    will this conveyance allowance be given? please give the circular if any regarding my claim.
    thank you.
