7th Central Pay Commission Travelling Allowance

Travelling allowance deals with the nature of travel entitlements for different ranks of government employees. The allowance on tour comprises of fares for journey by road, air, rail and sea.

The 6th CPC had changed the old concept of Daily Allowance by implementing reimbursement of hotel accommodation, taxi charges and food bill on producing vouchers for the same. Now, since this was a new concept, employees were given the option to choose between the old 5th CPC single rate of DA and the DA based on reimbursement of expenses, as per 6th CPC. The 7th CPC has recommended continuing the concept of reimbursement of hotel accommodation, taxi charges and food bill, with the exception that vouchers are not required to be produced for food bills.
