A Compensatory Allowance attached to a post will be drawn in full by a Government servant performing the duties of the post.
House-rent allowance :—A house-rent allowance attached to a post will be paid to the Government servant officiating in the post, provided that, subject to mutual arrangement, it may continue to be paid to the Government servant for whom he is officiating for a maximum period of four months.
Local and miscellaneous allowance :—The competent authority may, after recording his reasons, which should be communicated to the Audit department, permit a Government servant proceeding on leave, or relieved temporarily or preparing for or attending an examination, or transferred temporarily from a post to which an allowance coming under clauses (b) and (c) of Rule 1 is attached, to draw the allowance or part of the allowance for a period not exceeding four months, without prejudice to the Government servant officiating for him also drawing it. The competent authority, in arriving at a decision, will be guided by the following considerations :—
Whether the Government servant is expected to return to a post to which a similar allowance is attached, and whether he will continue to be involved during leave etc., in the expenses to meet which the compensatory allowance was granted.
In the absence of these considerations the allowance cannot be drawn.
Note 1 :—The competent authority under this rule is the authority who sanctions the leave, relief or transfer.
[ Note 2 :—(a) The authority sanctioning the leave or transfer shall certify that, on the expiry of the leave or temporary transfer, the Govt. servant is likely to return to the post, to which the allowance is attached or to any other post carrying a similar allowance; and

(ii) he certifies that he has incurred during the leave, the expenses to meet which the allowance is claimed; and
(iii) the allowance shall be drawn only on the return of the Government servant from leave.
[ Note 1 :— House-rent Allowance shall be drawn during the leave or temporary transfer if :—
(a) the authority sanctioning the leave or transfer certifies that the Government servant on the expiry of the leave or temporary transfer is likely to return to duty at the station from which he proceeded on leave or is transferred, or at another station in which he will be entitled to a similar allowance, and
(b) the Government servant certifies either :—
(i) that he or his family or both continued to reside, for the period for which the allowance is claimed in the station from which he proceeded on leave or transferred; or
(ii) that for the period for which the allowance is claimed, he continued to incur the whole or a considerable part of the expenditure on rent for which the allowance was granted.
[ Note 2 :—For the purpose of this rule the word “family” shall in the case of a male Government servant, include his wife, and children, including an adopted son, residing with and wholly dependant on him, and in the case of a female Government servant, shall not include her husband, unless he is wholly dependant on her; nor shall the term include a married daughter, with effect on and from the date on which she was placed under her husband’s protection].

When a Government servant is transferred from a post in which he draws a compensatory allowance (other than a travelling allowance) to a post to which a compensatory allowance of a like nature is attached, he may draw the allowance during joining time provided that, if the rates of the allowances differ, he may draw the lower rate only.
