Thanks for visiting https://railwayrule.com
‘Residential Card Pass’is not defined as duty pass under rule 4 https://railwayrule.com/pass-rule-no-4-kinds-passes of Pass Rules.
As such it may not be used as ‘duty pass’. On the other hand, if controlling Officer permits performance of duty using RCP, the TA can be claimed as per TA Rules, because as per rule https://railwayrule.com/irec-vol-ii-chapter-xvi-traveling-allowance-rules-ta-rules one becomes entitled for TA is he goes beyond 8 KMs from his office to perform Railway duty.
