TA/DA Calculation on Temporary Duty
You must note that the temporary duty can be different regarding the conditions of the duty and the convenience provided to the employee.
If you are that employee and you are provided with residence, then you will claim only Daily Allowance (DA) and Traveling Allowance(TA). If you are not provided with residence then you will claim TA, DA and Hotel Charges where you reside. Normally the Hotel Charges are 2X dailies claimable.
TA/DA Calculation on Temporary Duty
If you a government employee and you are transferred at your own request or locally within same city, then you have not the right of claiming TA/DA. You will get the following benefits on transfer/posting by your department:
- Daily Allowance
- TA
- 1X Basic Pay
- Luggage Charges
Daily Allowance
Rates of daily Allowance are as given above. Your family members above the age of 12 years will get the full Daily and the Children below the age of 12 will get half daily allowance.
Basic Pay
The employee who has been transferred will get 1X current basic pay for the purpose.
Luggage Charges
The simple formula for the luggage charges is given as under:
Luggage Charges = Weight X Distance X 0.02
| BPS | Weight(With Family) | Weight (Single) | TA Facility |
|---|---|---|---|
| BPS-01 to BPS-10 | 760 Kg | 380 Kg | Economy |
| BPS-11 to BPS-13 | 1500 Kg | 760 Kg | AC Lower Ordinary or Above |
| BPS-14 to BPS-16 | 3000 Kg | 1500 Kg | AC Parlor or Above |
| BPS-17 & Above | 4500 Kg | 2240 Kg | AC Sleeper or Higher |

Usually the TA/DA on retirement is the same as on transfer but only Daily Allowance (DA) will not be admissible to the employee or his/her family.
