Air Travel by Babus - Dept of Expenditure frowns on ignorance of Revenue Officers
DEPARTMENT of Expenditure has noted that officers of field formations under Department of Revenue continue to claim ignorance of the air travel guidelines with regard to prescribed procedure for purchase of air tickets from authorized travel agents in respect of air journey performed by them. Department of Expenditure has sought clarification as to how Department of Revenue proposes to ensure that the air travel guidelines are complied with strictly in all its field formations so as to eliminate cases requiring relaxation of air travel guidelines due to ignorance of the instructions.
Department of Expenditure wants publicity to be given to air travel guidelines issued by Department of Expenditure from time to time in respective field formations of CBDT and CBEC.
