Reimbursement of GST on Hotel Accommodation Charges
119. According to the clarification issued by the Department of Posts, how should GST and other taxes be treated when calculating the reimbursement for hotel accommodation charges for a Government employee on tour, and what is the specific order governing this?
As per Order No. 17-03/2017-PAP dated 18th June, 2018 , the Department of Posts clarified that the ceiling limits for reimbursement of hotel accommodation or guest house charges prescribed under the 7th CPC are exclusive of all taxes. Referring to the Ministry of Finance O.M. No. 19030/2/2017-E.IV dated 10th October 2017 , it is established that any GST or other taxes charged by the hotel are to be reimbursed to the Government employee over and above the prescribed ceiling limit. This ensures that the base room rate is compared against the entitlement ceiling while the tax component is paid in full.
