Amendment to Travelling Allowance Rules for Sporting Events
121. According to Office Memorandum No. 6/1/2019-Estt. (Pay-I) dated 8th May 2020, what is the revised entitlement for Central Government servants traveling to participate in sports events of national or international importance?
Under the provisions of Office Memorandum No. 6/1/2019-Estt. (Pay-I) dated 8th May 2020, the Government of India amended the previous rules established in 1985 regarding sports-related travel. The order specifies that Central Government employees required to travel away from their headquarters to participate in national or international sporting events (as defined in the original 1985 OM) are now entitled to claim Travelling Allowance (TA) for such journeys in accordance with the standard TA rules applicable to them. This directive effectively updates the specific travel class restrictions mentioned in the earlier 1985 memorandum to align with current general TA regulations and became effective from the date of its issuance, 8th May 2020.
