[G.I., M.F., O.M. No. 10/2/98-IC & 19030/2/97-E. IV, dated the 17th April, 1998.]

NOTE 1- Stay in hotels/any establishments that are not registered/licensed by proper authority shall be treated as “making one’s own arrangements” – The term “Scheduled Tariff” and the admissibility of D.A. at Hotel rates, etc., have been clarified way back in 1975. This clarification has not been superseded by any orders issued thereafter. Thus, to allow “hotel rates” or daily allowance as for stay in a hotel, the Government servant must have stayed in an establishment registered/licensed as a hotel, by proper authority.

To run business on the lines of a Hotel or Guest House, etc., the establishment has to be registered or licensed by proper authority. Therefore, hotels or any establishment that are not registered/licensed as such by the proper authority will not be treated as Guest House or

Hotel for the purpose of SR and stay in such establishments will be treated as “making one’s own arrangement” for calculating daily allowance.

[G.I., M.F., U.O. No. 548-E. IV/88, dated Nil, received under C. & A.G., Letter No. 476-Audit I/1/6-86 Pt. II, dated the 26th May, 1988.]

NOTE 2 – Reimbursement of Luxury Tax – It has been decided that where Luxury Tax is imposed by the Central or State Governments for stay in hotels, Guest or rest-houses, lodges and inns, etc., that re commercially run, and the same are shown separately as such in the rental bills submitted by the Government servant, the same may be treated as part of lodging charges and reimbursed within the overall prescribed limit of daily allowance.

(2) Daily Allowance is related to the classification of the cities/towns on population basis for the purpose of CCA. – The rates of daily allowance for different cities/towns shall be related to the classification of the cities/towns for purpose of grant of Compensatory (City) Allowance. For the purpose of compensatory (City) Allowance, the limits of the locality shall be those of the Urban Agglomeration adopted for the population census or, if the named place is not an Urban Agglomeration, the named Corporation/Municipality.

2. For halts at places where drawal of Compensatory (City) Allowance is sanctioned for special reasons at the rates applicable to higher class cities, the daily allowance is to be regulated with reference to the original classification of such cities/towns.

[ G.I., M.F., O.M. No. 19030/1/76-E IV (B), dated the 30th January, 1978 and Note 2 in Paragraph 1 of G.I., M.F., O.M. No. F. 2 (37)-E II (B)/64, dated the 27th November, 1965,

as amended from time to time and O.M. No. F. 19043/2/82-E. IV, dated the 25th November,

1983.]

(3) Daily Allowance is based on revised classification even in places where CCA is payable as per old classification – The matter regarding payment of daily allowance in respect of such cities which have been downgraded on the population basis for the purpose of

CCA consequent upon implementation of V Central Pay Commission’s recommendations has been considered in this Department and it is clarified that in respect of cities which have been downgraded on the basis of population, daily allowance would be paid at the rates applicable to their revised classification notwithstanding the fact that payment of CCA in such places has been allowed to be made on the basis of the old classification.

[G.I., M.F., O.M. No. 19042/1/2002-E. IV, dated the 6th June, 2002.]

(4) Reckoning of daily allowance in various circumstances – 1 On day(s) when the government servant on tour is provided with free board and lodging, he will draw only ¼ D.A. for that (those) day(s). If he is provided with only free board, he will draw ½ D.A. for that (those) day(s). The reduction has to be effected from the D.A. relatable to halt at an outstation.

2. For the time spent in journey, only ordinary rate of D.A. as in the Table at (A) will be admissible. When the total absence from headquarters is partly spent in journeys/ordinary locality and partly in expensive locality, the total number of daily allowances will first be calculated. From this, the number of daily allowances for halt in the expensive locality, for which D.A. at the special rates will be allowed, will be deducted. The remaining number of daily allowance will then be calculated at ordinary rates prescribed in Column (2) of the Table at (A) above.

If calculation of daily allowance in the above manner results in hardship to the employees touring on official duty, in partial modification of the above provisions, daily allowance may be drawn either with reference to the period spent on journeys first and therafter for the period spent in expensive locality or the other way round, whichever is more beneficial to the touring officer.

3. When an employee whose headquarters is located in an expensive locality performs journey locally beyond 8 Km, daily allowance will continue to be admissible at ordinary rates only.

4. If an officer returns to headquarters on the same day, he will draw daily allowance at the ordinary rates irrespective of the fact that the journey was performed to an expensive locality.

No. F. 19030/1/73-E IV (B), dated the 29th June, 1974; O.M. of even number, dated the 17th January, 1975; dated the 18th February, 1975 and Examples; the 24th April, 1975; 2nd July, 1975 and O.M. No. 19043/3/80-E. IV, dated the 24th March, 1981 and O.M. No. 19043/2/82-E. IV, dated the 6th January, 1983.]

(5) Scope of terms free board and lodging – (i) Improvised accommodation provided free of charge in a tent or temporary structure of other sort in a locality where regular accommodation (circuit house, inspection bungalows, rest houses, etc.) is not available, will not be treated as “free lodging” and the provision of such improvised accommodation should have no effect on the officer’s daily allowance.

(ii) “Free board” should be deemed to include the provision of all the principal meals throughout the period of the Government servant’s stay at the outstation at the public expense, and casual hospitability, such as a an occasional mean as an invited guest or free

luncheon or tea during working hours, should not be treated as “free board” for the purpose of grant of daily allowance.

[G.I., M.F., O.M. No. 5 (94)-E. IV/57, dated the 8th November, 1960, as modified by O.M. No. 9 (14)-E. IV (B)/61, dated the 8th December, 1961.]

(6) Calculation of D.A. for stay in – (a) Hotel/other Establishments/Railway Retiring Rooms – It has been decided that in partial modification of Order (1) above, the daily allowance for stay in hotel, etc., will be admissible at the respective rate for the concerned locality as shown in Table (A) of Order (1) above reduced by 10% thereof and in addition the lodging charges (exclusive of breakfast/meals), incurred by the Government servant for each calendar day will be admissible subject to the condition that the total daily allowance so calculated per day shall not exceed the rate laid down in Table (B) ibid for that locality.

2. Where more than one Government servant share the same room, the proportionate share of lodging charges for each will be treated as his lodging charges and the daily allowance for him will be calculated in the manner indicated above. Each T.A. claim should be supported by the original receipt or an attested copy of their receipt.

3. Daily allowance for stay in Railway Retiring Rooms shall also be regulated in accordance with the above provisions.

[G.I., M.F., O.M. No. 19030/1/73-E. IV (B), dated the 19th April, 1975; 6th August 1975 and 19th July, 1976.]
