Clarification
[Attention is invited to Note 2 of FD Notification No. F.12(6)FD/Rules/05 dated 13.03.2006, in which it has been provided that in case of transfer only Mileage Allowance and incidental on the basis of fixed remuneration shall be admissible. A doubt has been raised that if a probationer-trainee is transferred during the period of probation training joining time under Rajasthan Civil Services (Joining Time) Rules, 1981 shall be admissible or not. The matter has been examined and it is clarified that if a probationer-trainee is transferred during the period of probation-training he will be entitled to only Mileage Allowance and incidental on the basis of fixed remuneration and the provisions of Rajasthan Civil Services (Joining Time) Rules, 1981 shall not be applicable and the actual period required for travel will be treated as on duty.]
