Joint Travel Regulations

The Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) implements policy and law to establish travel and transportation allowances for Uniformed Service members (i.e., Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, Coast Guard, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Corps, and Public Health Service Commissioned Corps), Department of Defense (DoD) civilian employees, and others traveling at the DoD’s expense.

The JTR is published on a monthly basis; however, policy changes may occur at any time during the month. In each issue of the JTR, the cover letter outlines all policy changes from the previous version and the updated sections are highlighted throughout the document. Refer to the travel regulations archive for previous versions.

For Uniformed Service members, the JTR's authority is primarily derived from U.S.C. Titles 10 and 37 statutes. For DoD civilian employees, the JTR's authority is primarily derived from U.S.C. Title 5 statutes, General Service Administration's (GSA) Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) , and the Department of State's Standardized Regulations .

Provisions of the JTR are also determined by decisions of the Comptroller General (CG), the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (CBCA), the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals (DOHA), and DoD General Counsel.

The Per Diem Travel and Transportation Allowance Committee (PDTATAC), or Per Diem Committee, has oversight of the JTR, per DoD Instruction 5154.31, Volume 5 [PDF, 8 pages] . Two working level advisory panels support the subcommittee – the Military Advisory Panel (MAP) and the Civilian Advisory Panel (CAP). The Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO) serves as the administrative staff for the PDTATAC by developing, administering, and maintaining JTR.

MAP and CAP meet monthly and evaluate issues pertaining to travel and transportation allowances for Uniformed Service members and DoD civilian employees respectively.

Learn more about governance .

Proposed changes to the JTR may be submitted through a MAP or CAP member or the PDTATAC’s staff. Some changes to the JTR are required by changes to law and Service or DoD policy, or decisions of the Comptroller General, the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals, or the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals.

To request a JTR policy change, submit your recommendation through your chain of command to your component’s MAP or CAP member.

Review the JTR frequently asked questions . For questions about Pay, Travel Vouchers/Claims, Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS), Tax Exemptions, and Clothing Allowances, go to DFAS-Feedback .

Check your organization’s local business rules as they may contain additional clarification or guidance. If you need assistance locating your organization’s local business rules, contact your local level support .

Use your chain of command or contact your local servicing finance, transportation, or personnel office. The local offices are in the best position to review your circumstances and provide appropriate answers.

If you still need information after consulting these resources, submit a question to the PDTATAC’s staff . You must provide contact information for your servicing finance, transportation, or personnel office (whichever you consulted), the name of the person(s) with whom you spoke to, and a summary of any guidance given to you. A copy of the reply is forwarded to the Military or Civilian Advisory Panel member from your service.

7th Pay Commission Report – Advances for Central Government Employees

7th cpc recommendations for abolishing 12 types of interest fee advances for festival, ta, tour, ltc advance, leave salary, etc.  out of interest bearing advances, hba and pc advance have been retained all other advances are to be abolished.

7th CPC has submitted its recommendations to the Central Government to abolish interest free advances  which are Bicycle Advance, Warm Clothing Advance, Advance of Pay on Transfer, Advance of TA to the family of a deceased government employee,  Advance of LTC, Advance of Leave Salary, Advance in connection with medical treatment, Festival Advance, Advance in the event of natural calamity like flood, drought, cyclone, etc., Advance for training in Hindi through Correspondence Course, and Advance for Law Suits.

Two types of advances are granted to government employees: Interest-free and Interest-bearing.

Interest-free   Advances

Presently 12 interest-free advances are permissible. Their details are as follows:

Table   1   :   Interest-free   Advances

There is a general demand from the JCM-Staff Side to increase all interest-free advances to three times their present value.

Analysis   and   Recommendations

As can be seen from the table above, the amount of most of the advances is quite low. With the increased salary packages provided after successive Pay Commissions, these advances have lost their relevance. Hence, to do away with outdated provisions and thereby save on the costs involved in administering these advances, it is recommended that all Interest-free advances should be abolished.

Interest-bearing   Advances

The following four Interest-bearing advances are presently admissible:

Table   2   :   Interest-bearing Advances

The present position is that meagre funds are allotted for these advances and only a few manage to avail this facility. In fact, budget provision for all of them, except Advance for purchase of Personal Computer, has been reducing over the years, as can be seen from the graph below 35:

Regarding Motor Car Advance and Motor Cycle/Scooter/Moped Advance, we are of the view that quite a few schemes for purchase of vehicles are available in the market from time to time. The employees should avail of these schemes and both these advances should be abolished.

Regarding other interest-bearing advances, the following is recommended:

• Who are entitled to 7th Pay Commission additional Bunching increment ?
• 7th Pay Commission Pension for Pre-2016 Pensioners – CPAO instructions
• 7th Pay Commission Pension fixation based on Notional Pay – Procedure envisaged by Finance Ministry
• Revision of 7th Pay Commission Pension on notional pay – Confederation’s Analysis

Travel Advances

GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION               Washington, DC 20405                

OAS 5735.1 CHGE 1 December 2, 2021

GSA ORDER  

SUBJECT:  Travel Advances

1.  Purpose . This Order provides guidance for the issuance and management of travel advances. The GSA SmartPay® travel card provides a means of funding travel advances through ATM withdrawals so that travelers do not need to separately request travel advances or use personal funds to travel on official business. However, when an employee or expense is exempt from travel card use or due to a regulatory exception or extenuating circumstances, an advance of funds may be authorized to perform official travel.

2.   Scope and Applicability . This directive provides standards, instructions and procedures governing the management, authorization, issuance, repayment, and collection of travel advances. The provisions apply to all GSA employees. This order applies to the Office of Inspector General (OIG) to the extent that the OIG determines it is consistent with the OIG’s independent authority under the Inspector General Act and does not conflict with other OIG policies or the OIG mission. This policy applies to the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (CBCA) only to the extent that the CBCA determines it is consistent with the CBCA’s independent authority under the Contract Disputes Act and does not conflict with other CBCA policies or the CBCA mission.

3.  Cancellation . This directive cancels and supersedes OAS 5735.1, Travel Advances.

This federal law would make refunds for delayed or canceled airline flights permanent

• Updated: Apr. 29, 2024, 8:32 p.m. |
• Published: Apr. 29, 2024, 12:09 p.m.
• Larry Higgs | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com

Final rules announced last week requiring airlines to disclose all fees and mandating prompt refunds for canceled or significantly delayed flights should be made law, said U.S. Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D-5th Dist., who will introduce legislation to do that.

Gottheimer announced the legislation at a Newark Airport press conference Monday saying he seeks to make permanent consumer protection rules announced by the Biden administration five days ago.

Dubbed the “Enhancing Transparency for Airlines Act,” the legislation will make law the two rules announced by the Biden administration and the Department of Transportation last Wednesday on airline refunds and fare transparency, Gottheimer said.
