According to rule 9 of TA Rules of the
Federation actual taxi/tonga/ rickshaw fare
paid by the touring officer while on official
tour in a particular town is admissible on
production of the schedule to trip
undertaken by him in the city along with a
certificate that the amounts mentioned in
the schedule were actually paid by him
and that he did not use the car or vehicle
of any institution for such trips.
2.
It has been observed that in a
number of cases, the TA bills submitted by
the
employees
showed
that
reimbursement of large amounts had been
claimed on account of local conveyance
for journeys undertaken at procurement
centres etc. by taxi, scooter etc. by which
they were not entitled to travel. In
particular, it was noticed that several
official had visited docks, godowns and
3.
In future, when an employee is
deputed to attend to any urgent important
work where he is to claim by a mode of
conveyance which he is not entitled, the
TA claim relating to local conveyance of
each day should be verified by the
supervisory officer concerned on the
following day. For this purpose a record
should be kept by each supervisory officer
of the local journeys made by the
employee and also the mode of transport
allowed to be used. In the absence of such
verification
certificates,
the
local
conveyance bills will not be entertained.
E.
4.
Further, under rule 5 of the TA rules,
actual fare by taxi or scooter, as entitled
under the rules is admissible for road
journeys performed from residence to
airport/station and back, both at the
headquarters and at the place of visit. It
has been reported that auto-rickshaw are
not available at certain cities like Mumbai,
Kolkata etc. and, therefore, officers and
staff of the Federation are visiting such
places on tour/transfer by taxi from
airport/railway station to residence and
back. In such cases where the employees
are not entitled to travel by taxi, ex-post
facto approval of the Managing Director is
being obtained at the time of settlement
of TA bills. For this purpose, it has been
decided that in future at all places where
auto-rickshaws
are
not
available,
employees who are not entitled to travel
by taxi may be allowed reimbursement of
the taxi fare subject to the following
conditions:
(i)

Production of Railway
Receipt for Rail Journey
Money
1.
The
Railway
authorities
have
announced the discontinuance of money
receipt while issuing rail tickets and
notifications have been issued by railway
authorities in various newspapers on 19th
March 1980. For settlement of the claims,
railway authorities have advised that
touring officers may submit the details of
rail ticket, No., date of journey, train No.,
coach No. and reservation No. etc. in the
form of following certificate:
(Touring Officer)
2.
The
railway
authorities
have
indicated that this notification is valid till
the end of July 1980 and is likely to
become permanent if found to work well.
As such, the above order will be followed
till receipt of further communication from
the railway authorities in this regard.
(Ref. HO/FA/12(1)/79-80 dated 24.5.1980)
F.
1.
Instance have come to notice where
loss of TA bills of officials are reported
either in transit or in office. To overcome
this problem it has been decided that TA
bills and other important documents sent
by one office to another office of the
Federation should invariably be sent under
Registered Post.
2.
On receipt of such TA bills and other
important documents, the concerned
receipt despatch clerk shall make an entry
in the receipt register, and pass on the
same to the concerned officers/staff and
obtain his signature.
This order comes into force with
immediate effect.
Economy in Travelling
It has been observed that some of
the officers of the Federation are
proceeding on tour without prior
approval of the Competent Authority.
This causes dislocation of work of the
Federation. It has, therefore, been
decided that in future Branch
Managers will proceed on tour only
after their tour programme is
approved by the Regional Managers.
The
Regional
Managers
can
undertake tour with the prior
approval of the Managing Director. In
regard to officers posted in HO they
should proceed on tour after having
their tour programmes approved by
the Competent Authority. The powers
regarding
approval
of
tour
programmes and passing of TA bills
have already been laid down in HO
order no. HO/AD/8/275/79-80 dated
1st may, 1980. The journey should be
undertaken strictly in accordance
with the entitlement of the officer
concerned. If journeys are to be
undertaken by a higher class than
the entitlement in the exigencies of
office work, it has to be approved by
the
Managing
Director.
These
instructions should be noted for strict
compliance.
In this
As such, all
1.
Instance have come to notice where
the advance taken by the employees are
not
got
adjusted/settled
within
a
reasonable period of the date of taking of
such advances. In a number of cases TA
bills
are
being
submitted
after
considerable lapse of time of the
completion of journeys by the employees.
It has been decided that, in future, if
a TA bill is not submitted within one month
of the completion of the tour, the same
will not be entertained. Advance, if any,
taken for the tour will be recovered in the
manner stipulated in the office order No.
HO/AC/12/(19)/76-77 dated 04.04.1977.
(Ref. HO/AC/12(19)/76-77 dated
04.04.1977)
(ii)
1.
It has been brought to the notice
that officers/employees are not submitting
TA bills for the tour being undertaken
within the stipulated period of one month
for settlement of TA bill and recovery of
the advances. In this context, the
following officer orders had been issued:
(i)
(ii)
HO/AC/12919)/76-77 dated
28.08.1976
(iii)
HO/AC/129190/76-77 dated
04.04.1977.
2.
In spite of the above orders and
subsequent reminders from time to time,
no improvement in submitting the TA bills
as well as adjustment of TA advances has
been seen. In number of cases, TA bills are
being submitted by the touring officers
after considerable lapse of time of the
completion of the journey. This result in
non-adjustment of the advances and the
same has also been commented upon
adversely by the Statutory Auditors.
3.
It has, therefore, been decided that if
the TA bills are not submitted by the
touring officer within one month of the
completion of the tour in future, TA bill
may not be entertained. Advances taken
by the touring officer/employees may be
recovered in the manner indicated in the
Office order No. HO/AC/12(19)/76-77 dated
28.08.1976. Further TA advances may not
be allowed in case the earlier TA advances
are not adjusted against the TA bill of the
concerned employee.
4.
It will be the responsibility of the AO/
AAO/Accountant/Incharge of the Branch
Office to ensure that no deviation of the
above instructions takes place in future.
(Ref. HO/AC/12(19)/78-79 dated

Resultantly delay occurs in settlement of
bills of the Legal Adviser.

purpose the employees will be entitled for

kept in view while settling the TA/DA
