7th CPC TA Rules: Travelling Allowance on Transfer

RECOMMENDED FOR YOU

Siir, For transport of personal belongings by road our office is paying only the rate in km multiplied by the proportional(proportion of max weight allowed by steamer) weight, though the circular says by kilometer only. Is this the correct practice.

Transportation of personal effects by road is as per kilometer basis as per entitlement maximum weight only irrespective of weight of personal belongings.

NOTES—(1) A government servant on transfer who carries his personal effects by passenger instead of by goods train, may draw actual expenses up to the limit of the amount which would have been admissible had he taken the maximum quantity by goods train under clause (iii) above.

(2) A government servant on transfer who carries his personal effects by road between stations connected by rail may draw actual expenses up to the limit of the amount which would have been admissible had he taken the same quantity by passenger train, but not exceeding the amount which would have been admissible had he taken the maximum quantity by goods train under clause (iii) above.

(3) The controlling officer may, if he is satisfied that the family of a government servant is for good reasons unable to accompany him on transfer to the new station, permit him as a special case to draw allowances for transporting personal effects at the rates laid down in sub-clause (iii) (b) above.

(iv) Conveyances—Cost of carriage at owner’s risk (including the cost of conveyance of a driver for a car), subject to the provisions of sub-clauses (1) and (2) below, and provided that—

(3) If the two stations are connected partly by rail and partly by road then for such part of the distance as is connected by rail, a charge may be made according to clause (1) above and for the remaining distance according to clause (2) above:

Provided that if the government servant himself and/or any member or members of his family travel by the car/motor cycle/ scooter/moped, he may draw the allowance for the transportation of conveyance in addition to the railway fares and incidental expenses for self only at twice the ordinary rate which would have been admissible if the journey had been performed by rail and/or bus.

The 7th CPC report on TA on Transfer reads as follows. Mileage Allowance for Journeys by Road

8.15.35 It is more in the nature of entitlement for road journeys performed by different levels of employees. No demands have been received for any change.

Analysis and Recommendations

8.15.36 The Commission is of the view that present provisions are adequate. Hence, status quo may be maintained except at places where no specific rates have been prescribed. There the rates should be enhanced by 50 percent. Accordingly, the following is recommended :

8.15.37 At places where no specific rates have been prescribed, the rate per km will go up by 25 percent each time DA rises by 50 percent.

TA on Transfer

8.15.38 Presently it has four components: (a) Travel entitlement similar to Travelling Allowance, (b) Composite Transfer and Packing grant (CTG), (c) Reimbursement of charges on transportation of personal effects, and (d) Reimbursement of charges on transportation of conveyance.

8.15.39 Personnel posted in Island Territories have sought higher CTG on account of greater expenditure involved in transferring their household goods to and from the mainland.

8.15.40 Besides other demands for increase in entitlements, it has been brought to the notice of the Commission that when transfer is from a Class Z city to another Class Z city, the reimbursement for transportation of personal effects is granted at a lower rate compared to when the transfer is to a Class X or Class Y city. Uniformity has been sought in this regard.

8.15.41 Each of the four components is discussed separately:

a.    Travel entitlement –This is discussed under the topic of “Travelling Allowance.”

b.   Composite Transfer and Packing Grant (CTG) –The Commission notes that CTG is payable to both serving as well as retiring employees upon their transfer at a similar rate of one month’s Basic Pay last drawn. In line with our general approach of rationalizing the percentage based allowances by a factor of 0.8, it is recommended that CTG should be paid at the rate of 80 percent of last month’s Basic Pay. However, for transfer to and from the island territories of Andaman, Nicobar and Lakshadweep, CTG may continue to be paid at the rate of 100 percent of last month’s Basic Pay . Presently NPA and MSP are included as a part of Basic Pay while determining entitlement for grant of CTG. The Commission finds no justification for doing so, as the expenditure and inconvenience involved in relocation on transfer/retirement is similar for all employees. Hence, no other add-ons should be allowed in Basic Pay while calculating CTG .

c.    Reimbursement  of  charges  on  transportation  of  personal  effects – The  following provisions are recommended:

The rates will further increase by 25 percent each time DA rises by 50 percent.

The Commission notes that rates for transportation by road are already on a per km basis, and finds no merit in differentiating between classes of cities for this purpose. Hence, considerations of class of city have been done away with .

d.   Reimbursement of charges on transportation of conveyance –The present provisions to this effect are adequate. Accordingly, the following is recommended :

TA for Retiring Employees

8.15.42 As the name suggests, this allowance is granted to employees upon retirement. Presently it consists of (a) reimbursement of expenditure involved in transportation of conveyance, and (b) a Composite Transfer Grant (CTG) equal to last month’s Basic Pay drawn.

8.15.43 The individual components of TA for retiring employees will be similar to TA on Transfer, as outlined above .
