Various types of TA are available, including monthly, unconditional, distance, daily, and actual cost allowances, and eligibility is restricted to travel undertaken in the course of public service. The amount of TA varies depending on the employee's pay range, ranging from Rs. 4,100 to over Rs. 16,400. The daily allowance amount depends on the duration of the journey, and personal effects may be carried out in accordance with established regulations. Employees on temporary short transfers are also subject to the same rules, with revised rates applicable in lieu of earlier versions.
Read MoreTravelling Allowance (TA) Rules (WBSR Part 1)(Synoptic note)The rules for government employees to keep their job positions, called "lien," allow retaining the job and its benefits. Lien can be lost when taking a new job, working in a different cadre, or transferring abroad, then regained when returning within three years. "One time confirmation and lien" means confirmation happens only once at entry post when meeting requirements. Confirmation is no longer tied to permanent job availability, and if too many people have lien, junior employees may be reverted to lower positions.
