Government Decision No. 1
Since Permanent Travelling Allowance is fixed at a monthly rate it is not necessary that the officer should be on tour beyond 8 kilometres from headquarters on all days of the month. Even for days he is not on tour outside 8 kilometres from headquarters he can draw Permanent Travelling Allowance. This does not however mean that Permanent Travelling Allowance can be drawn without leaving headquarters on any day of the month. The drawal of the allowance will be governed by the order fixing the rate of Permanent Travelling Allowance and prescribing the terms and conditions for its drawal. For the drawal of full amount of Permanent Travelling Allowance an officer should be on tour outside 8 kilometres from headquarters for 15 days in a month and should spend at least 6 hours outside headquarters on each such day. If the minimum number of days of travel is not performed reduction has to be made as per the terms and conditions of the Permanent Travelling Allowance
This decision shall be deemed to have come into force with effect from 9th December 1970.

Government Decision No. 2
The following procedure will be followed for drawal of P.T.A in cases where an officer is on duty for a part of a month and also in cases where the officer has been on duty for the whole month but has not toured for the minimum number of days prescribed :¬
(a) If an officer is on duty for a part of a month he will be allowed proportionate P.T.A. for the days he is on duty provided that the officer is on tour for the proportionate number of days with reference to the minimum days of tour prescribed.
(b) For every day short toured, a deduction of will ( I x PTA) / Y be made where Y is the minimum number of days of tour prescribed.
Example.-Suppose an officer whose P.T.A. is 40 per mensem, and whose minimum period of touring is fixed as 20 days per month, is on duty only for 20 days in a month of 30 days. He is entitled to a P.T.A. of (20 x 40)/30 = 26.67 provided, he puts in not less than the proportionate number of tour days, i.e., (20 x 20)/30 = 13 days. For every day short toured by him a deduction of 1/20 of 40 will be made (i.e., if he tours only for 12 days, an amount of 2 will be deducted from 26.67).
(c) In cases where the officer is on duty for the whole month but has not toured for the minimum number of days prescribed, a deduction of (X x P.T.A) / Y will be made where X and Y are the shortfall in the number of days of tour and the minimum number of days of tour prescribed in a month respectively.
Example.-Suppose an officer whose P.T.A is 40 per mensem and whose minimum number of tour days is fixed as 20 per month, is on duty for the whole month and tours only for 15 days, a deduction of 5 x 40/20 = 10 is to be made from his P.T.A. of 40 per mensem.

Government Decision No. 1
The Railway authorities entertain claims for refund of cancellation charges on unused Railway tickets only from the passengers concerned. So in case where the official rail journey is cancelled solely due to official reasons, the Government servant should after getting the refund in the usual manner from the Railway station prefer to the appropriate Railway authority concerned his claim for refund of cancellation charges (i.e., full ticket value excluding reservation charges and refund already received) on unused tickets supported by a certificate from his controlling authority to the effect that the journey had to be cancelled solely due to exigencies of service.
When the officer himself is his own controlling officer for purposes of T.A. he may furnish his own certificate. The claim for the refund preferred on the Railways, should, however, be restricted to what it would be, had the officer booked and cancelled his journey by the shortest route, save in exceptional cases, where the route actually adopted by the officer is certified by the controlling officer or by the officer himself if he is his own controlling officer for T.A. purposes to be in the interest of public service.
Reservation charges in cases referred to above will be reimbursed to the Government servant without waiting for the acceptance of his claim for refund of cancellation charges by the Railway authorities. The amount of reservation fee reimbursed to a Government servant is debitable to the same head to which his T.A. is charged.
The Government servant should record a certificate as follows in the T.A. Bill for the claim.
“Certified that the reservation of journey ticket made as per reservation ticket No…… …………….. on ……was cancelled due to exigencies of public service.”

Government Decision No. 4
The above note should be deemed to apply only to journeys performed by road. ‘The nature of conveyance’ referred to in the note is intended to differentiate between ‘Public conveyance’ and ‘Special conveyance’ and not between different modes of journeys, such as journey by road or journey by rail. The note above therefore allows higher mileage only for journeys on transfer between places not connected by rail.
Rule 66, Part II, does not permit an officer to draw road mileage for journeys on transfer performed between places connected by rail as the term “Mileage allowance” as defined in Rule 12, Part II, relates not to ‘road mileage’ alone.
- The Government may, for special reasons to be recorded, allow to a particular officer or grade of officers, mileage allowance at a higher rate than is prescribed in Rule 31.
- 33. In calculating mileage allowance for journeys by road, fractions of a kilometre should be omitted from the total of a bill for any one journey but not from the various items which make up the bill.
- An officer authorised to travel by air is entitled to mileage allowance equal to one standard air fare plus an allowance for incidental expenses at one-fifth of the standard air fare subject to a minimum of one daily allowance and maximum of five times the daily allowance at the ordinary rate for each single journey, each single journey being defined as the journey from starting point to destination or vice versa.
Note 1.-
All first grade officers are authorised to travel by plane, Officers belonging to the other grades should take the prior sanction of Government for air journeys. Provided that one member of the personal Staff of Ministers, irrespective of the grade, shall be entitled to travel by air to accompany the Minister in case of necessity.എല്ലാ ഫസ്റ്റ് ഗ്രേഡ് ഓഫീസർമാർക്കും വിമാനത്തിൽ യാത്ര ചെയ്യാൻ അധികാരമുണ്ട്, മറ്റ് ഗ്രേഡുകളിൽ നിന്നുള്ള ഉദ്യോഗസ്ഥർ വിമാന യാത്രകൾക്ക് സർക്കാരിന്റെ മുൻകൂർ അനുമതി വാങ്ങണം. മന്ത്രിമാരുടെ സ്വകാര്യ സ്റ്റാഫിലെ ഒരു അംഗത്തിന്, ഗ്രേഡ് പരിഗണിക്കാതെ, ആവശ്യമെങ്കിൽ മന്ത്രിക്കൊപ്പം വിമാനത്തിൽ യാത്ര ചെയ്യാൻ അർഹതയുണ്ട്.
