Daily allowance

October 12, 2018 rajasinghmurugesan

Daily allowance

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:

GP>=10,000

Reimbursement for hotel accommodation/guest house of up to ₹7,500 per day, reimbursement of AC taxi charges of up to 50 km for travel within the city and Reimbursement of food bills not exceeding ₹750 per day

7600 <=GP<= 8900

Reimbursement for hotel accommodation/guest house of up to ₹4,500 per day, reimbursement of non-AC taxi charges of up to 50 km per diem (per day) for travel within the city and Reimbursement of food bills not exceeding ₹450 per day

5400 <=GP<= 6600

Reimbursement for hotel accommodation/guest house of up to ₹2,250 per day, reimbursement of non-AC taxi charges of up to ₹225 per diem (per day) for travel within the city and Reimbursement of food bills not exceeding ₹300 per day

4200 <=GP<= 4800

Reimbursement for hotel accommodation/guest house of up to ₹750 per day, reimbursement of non-AC taxi charges of up to ₹150 per diem (per day) for travel within the city and Reimbursement of food bills not exceeding ₹225 per day

GP < 4200

Reimbursement for hotel accommodation/guest house of up to ₹450 per day, reimbursement of non-AC taxi charges of up to ₹75 per diem (per day) for travel within the city and Reimbursement of food bills not exceeding ₹150 per day

 

 

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.

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:

 

Entitlement for DA

GP>=10,000

₹780 per day

7600 <=GP<= 8900

₹690 per day

5400 <=GP<= 6600

₹600 per day

4200 <=GP<= 4800

₹510 per day

GP < 4200

₹316 per day

Amount payable

If absence from HQ < 6hrs

30% of DA

If absence from HQ is between 6-12 hrs.

70% of DA

If absence from HQ > 12hrs

100% of DA

12 hrs 100% of DA 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

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)

 

Level

Ceiling for Reimbursement

14 and above

7500

12 and 13

4500

9 to 11

2250

6 to 8

750

5 and below

450

 

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

 

Level

Ceiling for Reimbursement

14 and above

AC Taxi charges up to 50 km

12 and 13

Non-AC Taxi charges up to 50 km

9 to 11

₹338 per day

6 to 8

₹225 per day

5 and below

₹113 per day

 

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 selfcertified 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)

Level

Ceiling for Reimbursement

14 and above

1200

12 and 13

1000

9 to 11

900

6 to 8

800

5 and below

500

 

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

ii. Timing restrictions

 

1

Length of absence

Amount Payable

If absence from HQ < 6hrs

30% of Lump sum amount

If absence from HQ is between 6-12 hrs.

70% of Lump sum amount

If absence from HQ > 12hrs

100% of Lump sum amount

 

 

All the above provisions will apply to Railway personnel also.
