  1. It is once again requested to kindly guide. If an officer of Grade-20 is retired and lives in the same city, the total distance of his permanent address is not more than 10KM, whether he is entitled for TA/DA on retirement as it has been told to us that TA/DA is not paid to those who lives in the same city. How his bill will be prepared, I mean one x basic pay. Luggage 4500 kg x 0.02 x Distance. Need your kind guidance on Priority please

    1. Thanks for the info but this does not look justified as distance is at one place but the retiring person should at least be given a basic pay as TA DA on retirement. Fine, by living in the same city his distance will be less then he will get less money but at least be be given a basic pay
