IREC Rule No.1686: Traveling Allowance To Apprentices

1686. Traveling Allowance To Apprentices:-

(1)   Special Class Apprentices: When they are moved from one headquarters to another in connection with their training, will be granted travelling allowance as on tour for the period covered by the journey.  In cases, however, when they are required to proceed from one station to another for training for the period not exceeding six weeks, they will be treated as on tour.

(2)   Other Apprentices: The apprentices (whether mechanical or other categories) who are in receipt of the concession of free boarding and lodging at their headquarters may be allowed Travelling Allowance applicable to the category to which they are apprentices provided they are required to undertake such journeys as a part of their training and no free boarding is arranged for them.
