In addition to the above, the employee will be entitled for an additional fare by the entitled class for self for both onward and return journeys, if he has to leave his family behind due to non-availability of Government accommodation at the new place of posting.

An employee whose family does not accompany him to the new station while joining on transfer, has an option to claim for him

either                for the first journey undertaken to join the new post

Personal effects on Transfer

13 Comments

The rate for transportation of personal effects mentioned here is absolutely WRONG. Rates have been increased by 25% when the DA had crossed 50%. The present rate is Rs. 37.50 / Rs 22.50 for X,Y and Z cities respectively.

Whether the rate for personal effects will be Rs 30/Kg or 37.50/Kg after the 25% hike. Further what will be the rate of transport of scooter from one station ( x grade) to another city of Y grade. For example how much one will get for transporting his scooter for 1000km from x to y grade city.

The rate for transportation of personal effects mentioned here is not a latest order Rates have been increased by 25% when the DA had crossed 50%. The present rate is Rs. 37.50 / Rs 22.50 for X,Y and Z cities respectively. May I request to provide copy of order of latest order.

(d) The actual cost of transporting a motor car or other conveyance maintained by the Government employee before his retirement is reimbursable as per provisions laid down in para 7 of this Annexure.

Explanation: In regard to the time-limits applicable for transportation of personal effects, the time-limit prescribed in the Explanation below sub-para (a) above in the case of members of the family, namely, one month anterior and six months posterior to the date of the move of the retiring Government employee himself, should apply in the case of transportation of his personal effects.

(e) The grant of the concession will be further subject to the following conditions:

(i) Before reimbursing the Travelling Allowance admissible under these orders, the Controlling Officer should. satisfy themselves, as far as possible, that the claimant and members of his family actually performed the journey to the home town or the other place to which he might have proceeded to settle there, e.g., by requiring the production of original railway vouchers relating to transportation of personal effects. conveyance etc.

Without any motion or movement there is no life

Ups and downs in life are very important to keep us going, because a straight line even in an ECG means we are not alive.

I see retirement as just another of these reinventions, another chance to do new things and be a new version of myself.

T.A. to Central Government Servants on Retirement

Settlement at a station other than last station of duty :- It has been decided to sanction the grant of travelling allowance to retiring Government servants on the scale and the conditions set out below. The travelling allowance referred to will be admissible in respect of the journey of the Government servant and members of his family from the last station of his duty to his home town or to the place where he and his family is to settle down permanently even if it is other than his declared home town and in respect of the transportation of his personal effects between the same places.

(a) For journeys by different modes -: Entitlement as for transfer

EXPLANATION - In regard to the question as to how the travelling allowance in respect of the members of the family of a retiring Government servant, who do not actually accompany him is to be regulated, it has been decided that the provisions of SR 116 (b) (iii) may be applied mutatis mutandis in all such cases. A member of a Government servant's family who follows him within six months or precedes him by not more than one month may, therefore, be treated as accompanying him. The period of one month or six months, as the case may be, may be counted from the date the retiring Government servant himself actually moves. The claims of travelling allowance in respect of the family members will not be payable until the head of the family himself or herself actually moves.

The time-limits of one month and six months mentioned above may be extended by the competent authority prescribed in SR 116 (b) (iii) in individual cases attendant with special circumstances.

(b) The Government servant shall, besides the fares, be also eligible to composite transfer grant equal to 80% of basic pay, if the distance from the last station of duty is more than 20 km. In case of transfer to stations which are at a distance of less than 20 kms from the old station and of transfer within the same city, one third of the composite transfer grant will be admissible, provided a change of residence is actually involved.

(c) Transportation of personal effects at the scale of allowance laid down in Order below SR 116 is allowable. The Government servant will also be entitled to claim the cost of transportation of personal effects between railway station and residence at either end of the journey as in the case of transfer.

(d) The actual cost of transporting a motor car or other conveyance maintained by the Government servant before his retirement is reimbursable as per Order below SR 116.

EXPLANATION - In regard to the time-limits applicable for the transportation of personal effects on availment of the concession, it has been decided that the time-limits prescribed in the Explanation below sub-para. (a) above in the case of members of the family, namely, one month anterior and six months posterior to the date of the move of the retiring Government servant himself, should apply in the case of transport of his personal effects. These limits may, however, be extended by the competent authority prescribed under SR 116 (b) (iii) in individual cases attendant with special circumstances.

Central Government employees who are visually impaired, orthopedically handicapped, deaf and dumb/hearing impaired, or have spinal deformity, are entitled to Transport Allowance at double the normal rates, as per the DoE Order dated 31st August 1978. To avail of this benefit, employees need to obtain a recommendation certificate from the Head of the orthopedics department, Head of the Ophthalmologist Department, and Head of the ENT Department of a Government Civil Hospital.

However, this aspect was not mentioned in the 7th pay commission report. After prolonged deliberation, the Govt accepted the demand and issued orders on 2.8.2017.

This percentage is applied to the rate of transport allowance (TA) and added to the base amount of TA. The rates for TA according to the 7th CPC pay matrix vary depending on the pay level and the city. For instance, in TPTA cities, Level-1 employees with a basic pay below 24200 receive 1350 plus DA as their TA, while in other cities they receive 900 plus DA. The same calculation applies to other levels, up to Level-14 which receives 7200 plus DA in both types of cities.

Your transport allowance can vary depending on your grade and post, with amounts ranging from a minimum of Rs. 12,000 up to over one lakh per annum.

T.A. Advance on tour

When an employee goes on a tour and is absent from their Headquarters or Place of Posting for a full calendar month, they will not receive Transport Allowance for that month. However, if their absence doesn’t cover a full calendar month, they will be eligible for Transport Allowance for the entire month. This is important to keep in mind when planning for T.A. Advance on tour.

Transport Allowance as per 7th CPC

If an employee is treated as on-duty during training and there is no provision for Transport Facility, Traveling Allowance, or Daily Allowance while attending the training institute, they may be granted Transport Allowance as per the 7th CPC. However, this allowance will not be admissible if the employee is on an official tour for the entire calendar month while undergoing the training course. Similarly, if an employee is on training abroad and the period of training covers the entire calendar month, they will not be eligible for Transport Allowance as per 7th CPC.

Transport Allowance Rules for Central Government employees

Transport Allowance Rules for Central Government employees are applicable when they are on inspection or survey duty exceeding 8 km from the Headquarters, or during continuous field duty either in or outside the Headquarters. This allowance is provided to compensate for the commuting costs incurred between the place of duty and residence. However, if an employee receives Road Mileage/Daily Allowance or free transportation for field/inspection/survey duty or tour for a month, they are not entitled to Transport Allowance during that month.

Vacation staff is entitled to Transport Allowance, provided they do not receive any free transport facility. However, the allowance will not be admissible when such a vacation covers the whole calendar month, including all kinds of leave.

In the case of a Government employee under suspension, Transport Allowance is not applicable. If the suspension covers the full calendar month(s), the employee is not entitled to Transport Allowance during that period, even if it is finally treated as duty. If the suspension period covers a calendar month partially, the Transport Allowance payable for that month shall be reduced proportionately.

Limitations of Travelling Allowance Calculation

When is it Not Admissible?

Travelling allowance is not admissible to central government employees who have been provided with staff car transportation. Additionally, if an employee is absent from duty for an entire calendar month, they will not receive transport allowance.

To review the recommendations of the 7th CPC on allowances, the Central Government formed a committee chaired by the Finance Secretary. On April 27th, 2017, the allowance committee submitted its report to the government.

Transfer travelling allowance calculation is not viable for central government workers who receive government-provided staff car transport. When an employee is absent for a complete calendar month, they become ineligible to receive their transport allowance.

Meanwhile, the Central Government instituted a committee to assess the 7th CPC’s allowance recommendations. The committee, led by the Finance Secretary, submitted its report to the government on April 27th, 2017.”

Transfer Travelling Allowance for Central Government employees

Learn about the eligibility and admissibility rules of transfer travelling allowance for central government employees during the month of April 2020. Despite the lockdown period, central government employees are entitled to receive their transport allowance. Keep in mind that cities and towns, excluding TPTA cities, are categorized as ‘Other Cities’. If you reside in Faridabad, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, or Noida, you are eligible to receive transport allowance at rates similar to those applicable to ‘Other Cities.’

Transport Allowance Calculation

The regulations governing Transport Allowance as per 7th CPC is as follows: Transport Allowance can be calculated using the formula A + [(A x D)/100], where A is the employee’s basic salary and D is the appropriate percentage. For instance, if an individual makes Rs. 49,000 in pay level 6 and works in a metro, their transport allowance would be 3600 + (3600 x 17) / 100.
