IREC Rule No.1672: Traveling Allowance For Attending Inquiry During Suspension

1672. Traveling Allowance For Attending Inquiry During Suspension:-

A railway servant under suspension who is required to perform journey to attend a departmental inquiry, may be allowed traveling allowance as for a journey on tour from his headquarters or the place at which he has been permitted to reside during suspension to the place of inquiry whichever is less. No traveling allowance will, however, be admissible if the inquiry is held at his own request. The rate of daily allowance admissible will be the same to which a railway servant was entitled on his pay just before his suspension. 

Railway Ministry’s Decision: 

(1) Traveling allowance is admissible to a railway servant summoned to give evidence in a court of law while he is under suspension, but the period of his attendance at the court will be treated as suspension only.
