He is drawing grade pay below Rs.4200 but drawing pay in the pay band Rs.7890 PM. Recently Government has upgraded some of the cities for TA, Indore is one among them.
Previously, the concerned MTS was given Rs. 1000/- (Min) TA.
After up-gradation of City what Amount must be paid as the MTS is Physically Handicapped.
M.J.Sathiam says
On approval of up gradation of cities as per 2011 census, the cabinet approved HRA and Transport Allowance to central Govt employees on 30.05.2015. The Finance Ministry issued order on up gradation of cities for HRA purpose after almost all 2 months. Still they are not release order of up gradation of cities for transport allowance. How many months/year will require to issue the orders? Is it Good Governance?.

Respected sir,
Sub; Clarification about TA reg.
I Mr. RHSannagoudar working as a TGT(Maths) in Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya, Kuknoor.Koppal dt, Karnataka-583232 which is working under Ministry of HRD Govt of India. Since 29-08-1991 I have been working under as above said designation. I am Physically Handicapped since my birth and I was recruited under this quota only. As per the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations, we the disabled employees of central govt are eligible to draw Transport allowance at the double rates which is one of the best financial benefits given to us. We all the staff of the Vidyalaya are supposed to reside in staff quarter which is rent free. All are supposed to reside in the campus as our system is residential set up. Even then our NVS helped us by giving Transport Allowance to all the employees of NVS.I am also getting this benefit since 1996, and I got huge amount of arrears also. But last year some Audit offiers visited our vidyalaya for Audit; there they came to know that Transport Allowance is given to employee even though he/she in EL.Also most of my amount is withdrawn from salary as extra payment towards TA.
According to our NVS auditors we the employee of NVS (Those who are drawing double TA) are not supposed to receive TA when ever employee is on EL,OD,TOUR, TRAINING etc. So if I am on leave by applying EL,I will get the TA for the month except the days which are applied for EL.But for the other employee they are giving the full TA if he/she attend one day duty in the full calendar month
Really this injustice for us.
In this regard please help by sending any related circulars to the following address
Thanking you
Yours faithfully

Dr. A. k.Yadav says
I want do add this line. pl. ask the people who are in favour of this order to get their offices shifted from delhi to noida etc and get the TA as per this order. I think then they will realise and then will join the kejariwal team and will go to sit at jantar mantar against the issue only for the TA not due to another matters.
N S Bisht says
Lot of employees of central government are residing at Delhi and and working at Faridabad, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad and Noida and also vice-versa. Cost of transportation are same for both kind of employees.
Further, there is a uniform HRA for Delhi and its adjoining cities like Faridabad, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad and Noida i.e., 30%. Hence, Transportation Allowance may be same for NCR region of Delhi.
ak says
I think govt is not aware due to non availability of local buses in all the three NCR town the transport charges much more than delhi, it is only concern that concerned officials are not aware of the facts
