I have only one doubt, either petrol or Diesel rates are through out the India is almost same. May be the difference is nominal. If that is the case why x- City employees should get more and Y-City employees should get less. I personally felt that, Transport allowance should be equal to allover the India. In case govt wants to Differentiate, it can be paid based on the distance KM.

This is purely my personnel opinion. think friends.

7th Central Pay Commission Travelling Allowance

Travelling allowance deals with the nature of travel entitlements for different ranks of government employees. The allowance on tour comprises of fares for journey by road, air, rail and sea.

The 6th CPC had changed the old concept of Daily Allowance by implementing reimbursement of hotel accommodation, taxi charges and food bill on producing vouchers for the same. Now, since this was a new concept, employees were given the option to choose between the old 5th CPC single rate of DA and the DA based on reimbursement of expenses, as per 6th CPC. The 7th CPC has recommended continuing the concept of reimbursement of hotel accommodation, taxi charges and food bill, with the exception that vouchers are not required to be produced for food bills.

The Finance Ministry has revised and issued orders, the entitlements of travelling allowance to central government employees as per the recommendations of VII CPC with some modifications. But whereas the employees and the pensioners are still awaiting for the implementation of the VII CPC benefits, despite the states like viz. Madhya Pradesh have come forward to implement VII CPC to its employees. It shows the step motherly attitude of the Govt. to the central autonomous employees and pensioners. The month of July is the annual increment month of the employees of the central autonomous bodies and they are going to get increment in the pre-revised scale of pay of VI CPC.

The Tejas-Rajdhani Express is a semi-high-speed train operated by Indian Railways. These are upgraded coaches.

NEW DELHI : Central government officials will now be entitled to travel on Tejas trains on their official tours, a notice from the ministry of finance issued on Monday said.

The Tejas Express, India’s first semi-high speed, fully airconditioned train was flagged off in 2017. (HT File Photo)

‘The matter regarding admissibility of travel by Tejas Express Trains on official Tour has been considered in this Department. It has been decided to allow Central government employees to travel by Tejas Express Trains for journey on Tour/Training/Transfer/Retirement, in addition to the Trains as mentioned in para 2 A (ii) of this Department’s OM of even number dated 13.07.2017. Travel entitlement in Tejas Express Trains would be same as that of Shatabdi Trains as mentioned in para 2 A (ii) of this Department’s OM of even number dated 13.07.2017,’ the notice dated September 12, said.

According to the July 13, 2017 memo, the entitlement for the train journey depends on an employee’s pay level in pay matrix and it allowed government officials to travel by premium trains/ premium tatkal trains/ suvidha trains like Rajdhani/ Shatabdi/ Duronto trains.

“By issuing a notice on Monday, the ministry added Tejas trains to the list of premium trains that the central government officers will now be able to officially travel in,” an official said.

‘In so far as the persons serving in the Indian Audit and Accounts Department are concerned, these orders are issued in consultation with the Comptroller and Auditor General of India, as mandated under Article 148(5) of the Constitution of India,’ the latest order added.

7th Pay Commission TA DA – Travelling and Daily Allowance – Recommendation and decision by Govt

Field Allowance and Transport Allowance during absence period due to Covid-19 lockdown

7th Pay Commission TA DA – List of Allowances Covered while on Travel and cadre-wise eligibility – Committee’s recommendation and Government approval.

7th Pay Commission TA DA – Allowances allowed relating to Travel.

7th Pay Commission TA DA – Travelling and Daily Allowance are payable to Government Employees who are on official tour subject to certain conditions.

The analysis and recommendations of 7th Pay Commission as far as this reimbursement is concerned is as follows.

Daily Allowance

8.15.12 Daily allowance is meant to cover living expenses when employees travel out of their headquarters for work. Presently it is in the form of reimbursement of staying accommodation expenses, travelling charges (for travel within the city) and food bills, payable at the following rates:

For journeys on foot, undertaken in organizations like FSI, Survey of India, GSI, etc. for data collection purposes, an additional allowance of ₹7.5 per km travelled on foot shall be payable.

8.15.13 The existing dispensation is different for Railway employees who are paid a flat sum because they are currently not entitled to stay in any accommodation other than Railway rest houses. The lump-sum rates for Railway personnel are as follows:

8.15.14 Representations received regarding this allowance primarily deal with the reimbursement procedure, as it is claimed that getting hotel bills (in small towns) and food bills is not always practical.

Analysis and Recommendations

8.15.15 The Commission considered the present model of this allowance, followed both in Railways and in other ministries. It is proposed to adopt the best from both of them so that the administration of the allowance can be simplified. Accordingly the following is recommended :

a) Reimbursement of staying accommodation charges ( ₹ per day)

For levels 8 and below, the amount of claim (up to the ceiling) may be paid without production of vouchers against self-certified claim only. The self-certified claim should clearly indicate the period of stay, name of dwelling, etc. The ceiling for reimbursement will further rise by 25 percent whenever DA increases by 50 percent. Additionally, it is also provided that for stay in Class ‘X’ cities, the ceiling for all employees up to Level 8 would be ₹1,000 per day, but it will only be in the form of reimbursement upon production of relevant vouchers.

b) Reimbursement of travelling charges

Similar to Reimbursement of staying accommodation charges, for levels 8 and below, the claim (up to the ceiling) should be paid without production of vouchers against self- certified claim only. The self-certified claim should clearly indicate the period of travel, vehicle number, etc. The ceiling for levels 11 and below will further rise by 25 percent whenever DA increases by 50 percent. The rate of allowance for foot journeys shall be enhanced from the current rate of ₹7.5 per km to ₹12 per km travelled on foot. This rate also shall further rise by 25 percent whenever DA increases by 50 percent. c) There will be no separate reimbursement of food bills. Instead, the lump sum amount payable will be as per Table 1 below and, depending on the length of absence from headquarters, would be regulated as per Table 2 below. Since the concept of reimbursement has been done away with, no vouchers will be required. This methodology is in line with that followed by Indian Railways at present (with suitable enhancement of rates). i. Lump sum amount payable

( ₹ per day)

The Lump sum amount will increase by 25 percent whenever DA increases by 50 percent.

ii. Timing restrictions

Absence from Head Quarter will be reckoned from midnight to midnight and will be calculated on a per day basis.

8.15.16 All the above provisions will apply to Railway personnel also .

Daily Allowance on Foreign Travel

8.15.17 This allowance is granted to employees when they undertake foreign travel. The rate of the allowance varies from $60 to $100 per day, depending upon the country involved. No demands have been received regarding this allowance.

8.15.18 Ministry of External Affairs and Ministry of Finance decide the rate of this allowance from time to time. Hence, the rates may be kept unchanged .

M ileage Allowance for Journeys by Road

8.15.35 It is more in the nature of entitlement for road journeys performed by different levels of employees. No demands have been received for any change.

8.15.36 The Commission is of the view that present provisions are adequate. Hence, status quo may be maintained except at places where no specific rates have been prescribed. There the rates should be enhanced by 50 percent. Accordingly, the following is recommended :

8.15.37 At places where no specific rates have been prescribed, the rate per km will go up by 25 percent each time DA rises by 50 percent.

Travelling Allowance

8.15.55 This allowance is in the nature of travel entitlements for different ranks of government employees. No demands have been received regarding this allowance.

8.15.56 The Commission opines that the present provisions are adequate. Hence, status quo is recommended with the present system of differentiation based on Grade Pay duly substituted by the Levels of the Pay Matrix:

8.15.57 It is suggested that Indian Railways reconsider its position regarding air travel to its employees, in light of the possible savings in terms of cost and man-hours, particularly after the pay revision as recommended by the Commission. The fact that additional seats will be released in trains for the public will be an added advantage. 7th Pay Commission TA DA – Travelling and Daily Allowance – Recommendation and decision by Govt

Here are the decisions of Govt with respect to Travelling Allowance and Daily Allowance which are effective from 1st July 2017

Daily Allowance:

Level 6 to 8 of Pay Matrix to be entitled for Air Travel
