Travel Allowance Rule for Journeys to Hill Station on Duty (IRCE 1655).
A Railway servant who travels on duty to a hill station may draw traveling allowance during his absence as for a journey on tour. Such a railway servant shall, however, forfeit all claims to traveling allowance for journey and halt, other than permanent traveling allowance, if he prolongs his stay at the hill station beyond a period of ten days or the period necessary for the performance of the duty on which the journey is made whichever is less; provided that the Railway Board and, in respect of the staff under his control, the General Manager of an Indian Railway, may preserve the railway servant’s claim to traveling allowance by
(a) sanctioning a halt in excess of ten days, and
(b) officially intimating that his presence was required on duty throughout the period or that he was permitted to extend his stay during holidays immediately following his period of duty.
(2) The Heads of Departments may exercise the power of a General Manager under this rule up to a maximum limit of 30 days.
Government of India’s Decision:
The term holiday occurring in the above rule includes casual leave.
