One Day, One Minute, One Rule – 101. System Administrators' Eligibility for Travelling Allowance (TA)
101. According to the interpretation of SR 25 presented, what is the key reason System Administrators are considered eligible for Travelling Allowance (TA) and road mileage, rather than Conveyance Allowance?
System Administrators (SAs) are eligible for Travelling Allowance (TA) and road mileage , not Conveyance Allowance, as their nature of work demands it and is of an urgent nature directly connected with public interest. The key reason for this distinction is the scope and nature of their travel. Conveyance Allowance, as per the interpretation of SR 25, is generally granted for officials who must travel extensively within a short distance (e.g., an 8 km radius) from headquarters for "field work" , such as meeting customers, business travel, or visiting non-public places. Conversely, the scope of a System Administrator's travel is clearly defined as being from one public office to another public office ONLY (e.g., One Post Office to another Post Office). Such travel between public offices is termed and defined as a Tour and therefore falls under the purview of Travelling Allowance. Furthermore, travel between public offices within a prescribed distance is covered under Daily Allowances, which disqualifies it from the conditions for Conveyance Allowance, as per the reading of SR 25
