7th Pay Commission: Deadline For Claiming TA Extends For Retired Central Employees

The Modi government has implemented a new order regarding the Traveling Allowance (TA) of retiring central employees and pensioners.

Keeping in mind the interest of central employees and pensioners, the central government has extended the time limit for the submission of Travelling Allowance (TA) claims from 60 to 180 days. The new order is effective from 15 June 2021.

The government wants to provide relief to the retired central employees because 60 days is not enough to submit Travelling Allowance after retirement.

The Department of the Ministry of Finance made this announcement, which says: "Many references were received to extend this time limit. After retirement, it is quite complicated for a retiring central employee to travel from one place to another with family, and then settle down. And thus, 60 days is very little for the allowance submission. Now it has been extended."  

Under the new order, the retiring central employee can submit his travel expenses for 6 months after his journey. However, the deadline for submission of TA claim on tour, transfer and training will remain 60 days.

Shiv Gopal Mishra, Secretary, National Council of JCM, says “central government's order is a welcome move. 60 days was not enough time for submitting the TA claim. It has been witnessed that many employees face trouble with such restricted time limit."

This new order by the central government will give relief to its employees retiring from the service. After retirement, the employee has to leave the place of posting and travel to distant areas to settle down with his family.

Many retired employees move with heavy baggage, which becomes quite hectic. Central government employees have faced a lot of issues as earlier the time given for claiming Travelling Allowance was only 60 days. Now this time limit has been increased to 180 days. Some suggestions infer that the claims for Travelling Allowance should be made only at the time of retirement. This will save employees unnecessary hassle.
