No.PC-V/97/I/7/12, dated 09.03.2007

Sub: Grant of Transport Allowance to the Railway Officers using Official vehicle for commuting between office and residence during normal working hours.

1. Attention is invited to the Board’s letter of even number dated 16.12.1997 (RBE No. 179/1997) specifying the rates of entitlement of Transport Allowance to various categories of Railway officials.

2. It has now been decided that the Railway officers, even below the level of Head of Departments (SAG – Rs.18400-22400), who have been provided with official vehicle to perform their duties may be allowed the use of official vehicle for commuting between their office and residence even during normal working hours and such officers shall not be paid Transport Allowance.

3. The provision contained in Para 2 above is only in respect of those officers who have been provided with official vehicles to perform their duties. This by itself shall not give rise to any fresh demand for procurement of additional vehicles.

4. This issues with the concurrence of the Finance Directorate in the Ministry of Railways.
