(1)   When a railway servant is, with proper sanction, temporarily deputed for duty out of India either in connection with any special duty on which he may temporarily be placed, he may be allowed by the president to draw during the period of deputation the same pay which he would have drawn had he remained on duty in India.

Provided that a railway servant, who is placed on deputation while already on leave out of India on average pay, may be required by the President to continue to be on leave, in which case he shall be given during that period, in addition to his leave salary, an honorarium of one-sixth of the pay which he would have drawn had he remained on duty in India; the cost of passages from and to India shall be borne by him.

Note: The portion of the pay which a railway servant may be permitted to draw in foreign currency while on deputation abroad will be determined in accordance with the orders issued by the President in this regard from time to time.

(2)   A railway servant on deputation may also be granted a compensatory allowance in a foreign country of such amount as the President may think fit.

(3)      The foreign exchange equivalent of the pay, honorarium or compensatory allowance admissible under sub-rule(1) or sub-rule(2) shall be calculated at such rate of exchange as the President may by order prescribe.
