The DOE has now stated that the central government employees in the Pay Level 9 to 11 pay matrix will not have to produce self-certification with details like period of travel, vehicle number etc to claim travel allowance. Earlier, employees in Level 9 and above had to produce vouchers for reimbursement for travellling within the city. Now, they do not have to furnish receipts/vouchers to claim reimbursement of local travelling charges under Daily Allowance on tour. Earlier, the Department of Expenditure under its ‘Travelling Allowance Rules — Implementation of 7th CPC’ had prescribed reimbursement for travelling charges for travel within the city. Notably, the Dearness Allowance of central employees is increased in the month of July every year.
