I am working in Coir Board which is an autonomous body, under the control of Ministry of micro, small and medium enterprises, Govt. of India. I need some clarification on the traveling allowance for central government employees being followed in your organization.
As you are aware that traveling allowance rules after 6th pay commission implementation is squarely governed under OM, F No 19030/3/2008 E-IV dated 23.09.2008 and therein it has been clearly envisaged under item 2 that “Grade pay for determining TA/DA entitlement is as indicated in CCS(RP)rules 2008” and mentions that officers drawing grade pay of Rs.5400 and Rs.6600 are entitled to travel by economy class by air or AC II tier class by train.
In my case I am in the grade pay of 5400 and I have acquired this grade pay by virtue of Assured career progression scheme. My office is restricting me to travel only by AC II tier class and not allowing the air travel mentioning that I have acquired the grade pay by virtue of ACP. Now my question is:
• Whether the contention of my office is correct?
• What is the traveling allowance to be followed for the air travel to the officers drawing grade pay of Rs.5400 and Rs.6600 for those who got the grade pay by virtue of ACP/MACP?
No, the contention of your office is not correct. You are eligible for travel by air economy class, if you are drawing grade pay of Rs.5400/- irrespective of whether you are promoted or getting on the basis of MACPS.
Action taken by your office is not correct. As per TA Rules, the entiltlement for air travel are defined by Grade Pay irrespective of whether you are promoted or getting it on the basis of MACPS.You are, accordingly, entiltled for Air travel by economy class. ANUP KUKSAL

i have claimed the transport charges against the bill provided by the movers and packers. I am in the grade pay of Rs.4600 and so I am entitled for Rs.30 per Km for maximum of 60 quintals of goods.
however, the my office says that I will be getting the charges only as per the rates of Rail/CONCOR.
I am afraid that rail charges would be too low and its causing undue delay as they have written to the CONCOR for the tariffs.
please tell me if there is any circular which says that i will be getting only the minimum charges or the charges as per the mode of transporting the goods.

Bills were returned by accounts department with observations that 1) Amount for EXTRA messing is not entitled to. Nomenclature EXTRA messing is for items other than regular menu, obtained from mess. Overall limit of Rs 375/- may or may not be breached.
