InactiveDear Friends
One of our staffs performed journey by Tatkal Ticket and when he submitted T.A. to treasury for passing the Treasury officer concerned refused to pass the Bill saying that as the journey performed by Tatkal ticket and in the T.A. bill it was also claimed the Tatkal fair which why he refused to pass the bill.
Is there any order or rule where it is mentioned that tatkal fair can not be claimed or in our favour it can be claimed? if yes the said order may kindly be sent to me through email (s.s.prasad.adv@gmail.com) or any mode.
Thanking you.

It has been brought to the notice of this Ministry that in emergent circumstances whenever tickets for journey by rail in public interest are booked through railway counters, many a times reservation is not available because of rush in trains.

3. The matter has been considered in this Ministry and it has been decided that Tatkal Seva Charges’ may be allowed only for railway journeys undertaken for official purposes in extremely emergent circumstances which may be duly certified by the concerned Joint Secretary.
4. In their application to the staff serving in the Indian Audit & Accounts Department, these orders issue after consultation with the Controller & Auditor General of India.

Actually sending requested matters through email to the specified person may keep others in dark. Thats why we post the same here. If you want to be notified as and when someone post a reply, you may use the option ”Notify me when a reply is posted” available in the bottom of the draft box. This will help both you and others.

Somnath Babu, thank you very much for providing such an important order, but it is the Order of Government of India, Ministry of Finance, so we are being employee of Govt. of West Bengal, will it be applicable to us and it is also said in that order that “it should be duly certified by the concerned Joint Secretary”, but in our case who would be the competent authority to certify that?
August 25, 2012 at 5:40 pm #73780Inactiveso we are being employee of Govt. of West Bengal, will it be applicable to us
Yes it should be applicable for us as the same was forwarded by the Assistant Secretary to the Government of West Bengal, Finance Department vide No.9034(100)-F dated 15th September, 1999.
“it should be duly certified by the concerned Joint Secretary”, but in our case who would be the competent authority to certify that?
There is a post of joint Secretary for all department. You should apply through proper channel.

thanking you
s.s.prasad.August 27, 2012 at 6:40 am #73805InactiveMy pleasure. Actually its not possible to someone to know all the Govt. Orders and thats why we cant blame the Treasury Officer. Please note that Tatkal Seva Charges’ may be allowed only for railway journeys undertaken for official purposes in extremely emergent circumstances which may be duly certified by the concerned Joint Secretary. Thats why a certificate in this regard is required to be issued by the joint Secretary of your Dept. and a copy of the same should be attached with the bill. Best of luck.

Though there is a O.M. dtd 16 Aug,1999 regarding the scope of reimbursement of Tatkal charge incurred on official journey, yet it’s hassle-free for me (central govt. employee) who frequently performs official journey by train in Tatkal quota without taking prior permission from the higher authority and, gets reimbursement of the Tatkal charge. Objection should not be there as the official pays the Tatkal charge to the govt. (and not any pvt. co.) and, that money will be utilized by the govt. in the interest of public.
December 30, 2012 at 2:08 pm #76212InactiveThere is jurisprudence in every legal matter. Matters not specifically forbidden go in favour of the employees. Central Government Orders are not applicable upon State Government employees until and unless there is a fresh order by the State Government citing like”pusuant to the order of Central Government the State Government has decided ….”like that. Here seek the information under section 6 read with section 4(1)(d) of the RTI Act 2005 that under which provision of law they had regretted the re-imbursement of the tatkal ticket charges? I believe that it will clear the fuss for ever.
