Subject: Transfer allowance of personal effect-request for clarification-Reg
Sir,
With reference to the subject cited above, your attention is drawn to the Circular no. EP-13-2009-07 dated 26.02.2009 (Copy Annexed).regarding 'Travelling Allowance on Tour/Transfer to the employee of the Corporation which is almost a verbatim reproduction of "The Government of India Travelling Allowance Rules issued vide OM no. F.NO.19030/3/2008-E.IV dated 23.09.2008. (Copy Annexed).
Para 2 of the FCI Circular dated 26.02.2009 says, "The Government of India Travelling Allowance Rules, as amended from time to time, are followed in the Corporation."
Para 2 (C) of the Annexure-I of the circular specifies Transportation of Personal Effects. The rates are Rs.18/- per kilometer for all class of officers and cities.
Ministry of Finance, Govt. of India vide OM no. No. 19030/3/2008-E.lV dated 08.06.2010 (Copy Annexed) followed by clarification dated 24.01.2014 (Copy Annexed) has enhanced the criteria from Rs.18/- to Rs.30/- per kilometer for certain class of officers.
It is therefore, requested to kindly clarify whether,
1. Any revised circular is already issued by FCI Hqrs.in this regard,
2. Whether the revision is deemed to be implemented in FCI in view of Para 2 of the FCI Circular dated 26.02.2009.
3. If above two queries are in negative, whether FCI OA has taken up or going to take up the matter with the Management since it effects the financial benefit of all the officers of the Corporation.
