DRs in ITAT to get reimbursement for dress and residence expenditure – will DRs in CESTAT also get them? And what about the poor honourable Members?
The Government has sanctioned Reimbursement of expenses towards the cost of dress, required to be worn before the 'Tribunal', for the CIT (DR) and SDRs appearing before the ITAT. A princely sum of Rs. 10,000/- towards reimbursement towards dress cost for his entire tenure. Assuming the tenure is three years and assuming he works for 250 days in a year, he works for 750 days in three years, he gets a grand sum of Rs. 13/- per day for his dress! Better something than nothing.
The DRs are also eligible for a maximum amount of Rs. 5000/- reimbursable per month for Expenses on journals, net surfing; Stationery; Electricity bill upto 25% of the billed amount or Rs. 1,000/- whichever is lower; Typing charges; Any other expense incidental to performing the duty at residence.
They deserve a special allowance of at least One Lakh Rupees per month, but a small beginning has been made. Good job!
This should be replicated for the DRs in CESTAT.
And how about giving some facilities for the Honourable Members? Or do you want them to be caught by CBI?
