Q196

Consider the following statements regarding boarding passes for air travel on official tour (TA claims): I. A boarding pass is required as proof that the journey was actually performed. II. If the boarding pass is lost, the TA claim is automatically rejected with no alternative recourse. III. An official unable to produce the boarding pass may submit a self-declaration certificate in lieu of it, countersigned by the Controlling Officer where the official is below Under Secretary level. Which of the above statements is/are correct?

  1. (a) I and II
  2. (b) I and III
  3. (c) II and III
  4. (d) III only
Answer (b).

I and III are correct. The Department of Expenditure's O.M. No. 19030/3/2014-E.IV dated 08.10.2014 made the boarding pass the proof that an air journey on tour was actually performed; its O.M. of the same number dated 23.06.2020 lets an official who cannot produce it submit a self-declaration certificate in the prescribed proforma instead, countersigned by the Controlling Officer for officials below Under Secretary level (Pay Level 10 and below). These orders govern TA claims; the LTC instructions say only that evidence of the journey must be produced. (a) and (c) include II, which the 2020 O.M. directly contradicts; (d) drops I — the self-declaration is an exception for a missing pass, not a replacement of the requirement.

Q284

Consider the following timelines under the RTI Act: I. Normal time limit to provide information: 30 days II. Information concerning the life and liberty of a person: 48 hours III. Information involving allegations of corruption against exempt security organizations: 45 days IV. Information provided by a third party treated as confidential: 40 days Which of the above timelines are correctly stated as per the Act?

  1. (a) I and II only
  2. (b) I, II and IV only
  3. (c) II, III and IV only
  4. (d) I, II, III and IV
Answer (b).

I, II and IV are correct. Section 7(1) fixes ★30 days and its proviso ★48 hours where life or liberty is involved, and section 11(3) allows ★40 days where third-party information treated as confidential is involved. III is wrong: under section 24(1), information on allegations of corruption is not excluded from the Act even in an exempt organisation, but it carries no special period — the ★45-day limit in the second proviso applies only to allegations of violation of human rights, and only after the Central Information Commission's approval. (a) drops the 40-day period under section 11(3); (c) accepts the false 45-day claim and drops the 30-day limit; (d) accepts the false 45-day claim.

Q163

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R). Assertion (A): An employee transferred in public interest is entitled to transportation charges for personal effects by goods train or road. Reason (R): The distance between the old and new headquarters must be more than 20 kilometers to be eligible for TA on transfer including transportation of goods.

  1. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
  2. (b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
  3. (c) A is true but R is false
  4. (d) A is false but R is true
Answer (c).

A is true: an employee transferred in the public interest is entitled to the cost of transporting personal effects by goods train or road, up to the limit for his pay level (6,000 kg for Level 6 and above), against actual receipts. R is false: the 20 km distance does not decide eligibility for transfer TA or for carrying personal effects. It decides only the rate of the composite transfer grant — 80% of the last month's basic pay for a station 20 km or more away, one-third for a shorter move or within the same city, provided residence actually changes (DoE OM 19030/1/2017-E.IV, 13.07.2017, para 3(ii)). (a) and (b) are wrong because R is not true. (d) is wrong because A is true.
