The PAO has raised the following objections and returned the bill.
1. His basic pay will be 7,430 DA will be 2,671.00, HRA 2,229.00 and
CCA 175.00, hence total claim to be prepared for Rs. 12,505.00 as he
is sanctioned subsistence allowance admissible as on half pay leave.
All allowances to be worked out at 50% of basic pay.

State whether the objection of the PAO is correct or not?

Explanation:
1. The amount of D.A. will be based on subsistence allowance from time
to time FR 53 (1) (ii) (a) (iii). The same was reiterated in Memo No.
17982/212/A2/FR II/2000, dated 23-8-2000. Further, as per
[Link].21, PC.I, dt. 19.1.94, full D.A admissible for those who are
drawing pay in TSP 3110-6380 and below. But in RPS 1999 and RPS
2005, the same was not extended. However, 9 th Pay Revision
Commissioner recommends for payment of full DA to the
corresponding scale of 3110-6380 from time to time on par with Govt.
of India employees. But this facility not available to Govt. of India
employees.

2. HRA, CCA have to be calculated on the basis of pay, which the

employee draws on the date of suspension subject to furnishing the
certificate of incurring the expenditure [FR 53 (1) (ii)(b)]. The same
was reiterated by Govt. in Cir. Memo No. 40986/489/A2/FR II/99-2,
dated 01-04-2000.

3. IR is not admissible since it cannot be treated either as pay or wages

or an allowance [Memo No. 44113/541/PC.I/1/98-1, dated 11-11-
1998]
4. As per Art. 320 of AP Financial Code Volume I, each item has to be
rounded off to nearest rupee instead of rounding off total claim.
Hence, Claim prepared by DDO for Rs. 14,909/- is correct.

Srikakulam and he is relieved in old station on the AN of 01.11.2011. He

avail maximum joining time. When he has to join after availing full joining
time?

Explanation: As he relieved on 01.11.2010 AN, joining time starts from

02.11.2011.

Joining time calculation:

Journey time:
From Secunderabad to Srikakulam Road (By train)823 KMs 2 days

He has to join on 12.11.2011. As 12-13 November 2011 are public holidays,

they have to be suffixed to joining time. So he can join on 14.11.2011 after
availing full joining time.
