Conveyance Allowance

Conveyance Allowance

It is paid to Doctors for visits to hospitals and dispensaries outside normal duty hours as well as for making domiciliary visits. It is also paid to those employees who maintain their own Motor Car/Scooters/Motor Cycle/Moped and have to undertake frequent journeys on official business in their conveyance. The existing rates are as under:

(₹ per month)

Average Monthly Travel on Official Duty	For Journeys by Own Motor Car	For Journeys by other Modes of Conveyance
201-300 km	1680	556
301-450 km	2520	720
451-600 km	2980	960
601-800 km	3646	1126
> 800 km	4500	1276

 

There are demands to fully index this allowance with DA, as in the case of Transport Allowance.

Analysis and Recommendations

The demands lack merit. The Commission is of the view that the present rates of the allowance are adequate. Accordingly, status quo may be maintained. However, the allowance will go up by 25 percent each time DA rises by 50 percent.
