Travel by Air - Babus need not submit Boarding Pass
THE Government does not believe its employees. If an employee claims that he has travelled by air, on official work, he is required to produce the Boarding Pass to claim the reimbursement of the flight charges. Government is apprehensive that the officer will buy a ticket and later cancel it and unless the Boarding Pass is produced, Government is not sure that he actually travelled.
Government has recently decided to dispense with the condition of submission of Boarding Pass along with settlement of T.A. claim.
However, the officer concerned, will have to attach an undertaking that the journey, as mentioned, has actually been performed by him/her.
In case of extreme doubt, the controlling officer may be asked to verify the genuineness of the claim.
Further Frequent Flyer Reward points from Air India should be redeemed only for official travels.
