    No, you are not entitled to reimburse the cost of treatment of eye in OPD. The expenses of purchasing spectacles is also not reimbursable. However you may place a bill for spectales allowance probably once in a service life. Sorry I dont know much about that and I never prepared any such bill.

    Please provide necessary instructions and relivant Govt Order in this regard. I know nothing about it. Just heard from my senior colleagues.

    As far as I know the 5th State Pay Commission did not consider to allow the following allowances which have been demanded by various employees’ associations/ unions:
    Transport Allowance, Post Mortem Allowance, Special Duty Allowance, Extra Duty Allowance, Telephone/Mobile/Internet Allowance, Journal / Book Allowance, Night Duty Allowance, Childrens’ Education Allowance, Newspaper and Magazine Allowance, Fixed T.A./Conveyance Allowance, Tiffin Allowance, Nursing Allowance, Caretaking Allowance, Spectacle Allowance, Training Allowance and City Compensatory Allowance.
    The Commission was of considered opinion that none of these demands has proper justifications.
    (Ref.: Audit Report, Vol.-II, Chapter-24).
    Members from the State Govt. Services may adjudge the authenticity of this information.

    It is allowed @ Rs. 200 to the employees having a Basic Pay below Rs. 5000/- once in five years as reimbursement on production of the bill (whatever the bill amount is).
    No amendment in this regard is known to be issued after the implementation of ROPA, 09.
