There is a modification in the Travelling allowance rule in the sixth pay which was based on the reimbursement principle. In that case Officers have to produce receipts for the amount spent on accommodation, food, transportation etc.
Officers who had to travel on duty to remote places could not get the receipts for the amount spent by them for food as they had to use small hotels and it is difficult to get bill from there.
By the issue of new Ofice Memorandum dated 22.01.2009, as the Govt has decided to sanction daily allowance on tour, based on earlir office memorandum dated 17.04.1998 in case the officers opted to claim slab rate based daily allowance instead of reimbursement based travelling allowance prescribed vide office memorandum dated 23.09.08.
The new order provides the choice to the Officers for claiming the Travelling allowance either based on old TA rates or at actuals using the bills for food etc as per the office memorandum dated 23.09.08.
