[post_ads_2]

Sir,

1. I am directed to say that in pursuance of the decisions taken by the Govt on the recommendations of the Seven Central Pay Commission relating to Travelling Allowance entitlements, the Ministry of Finance have issued orders vide OM No.19030/1/2017-E.IV dated 13 July 2017 for modifying Travelling allowance entitlements of Civilian Central Govt employees. In pursuance thereto, sanction of the President is conveyed to the modifications in the Travel Regulations, 2014 (Edn) for Armed Forces Personnel as set out in Annexure to this letter.

2. The 'Pay Level' for determining the TA/DA entitlement is as indicated in relevant Special Army/Navy/Air Force Instructions.

3. The term 'Pay in the Level' for the purpose of these orders refers to Basic Pay drawn in appropriate Pay Level in the Pay Matrix as defined in relevant Special Army/Navy/Air Force instructions issued in pursuance to Govt decision on 7th CPC recommendations and does not include Non-Practising Allowance (NPA), Military Service Pay (MSP) or any other type of pay like special pay, etc.

4. However, if the Travelling Allowance entitlements in terms of the revised entitlements now prescribed result in a lowering of the existing entitlements in the case of any individual, groups, ranks or classes of service pers, the entitlements particularly in respect of mode of travel, class of accommodation, etc, shall not be lowered. They will instead continue to be governed by the earlier orders on the subject till such time as they become eligible, in the normal course, for the higher entitlements.

5. The claims submitted in respect of journey made on or after 1st July, 2017 may be regulated in accordance with these orders. In respect of journeys performed prior to 1st July, 2017, the claims may be regulated in accordance with the previous orders dated 29 Dec 2008.

6. It may be noted that no additional funds will be provided on account of revision in TAIDA entitlements. It may therefore be ensured that permission to official travel is given judiciously and restricted only to absolutely essential official requirements.

7. The relevant Rules of Travel Regulations will be amended in due course. As these orders are based on MoF OM No.F-19030/1/2017-E.IV dated 13 July, 2017 as well as further OM. No.19030/1/2017-E.IV dated 18 August, 2017, these OM would be referred to for settling any doubts/discrepancies.

8. These orders shall take effect from 01st July, 2017.

9. This issues with the concurrence of Ministry of Defence (Fin/QA) vide their UO No.505 dated15-9-2017.

Yours faithfully,
