These rates are based on those adopted by the Govt. of India from time to time. The Govt. of India have now revised the rates of halting allowance in respect of their officers. The question of adopting the rates of Govt. of India in respect of officers of this State has been examined and it has been decided that the rates as adopted by the Govt. of India should be followed in respect of officers under the rule making control of this State. It has also been decided that the revised rates should be adopted with effect from the dates they were adopted by the Govt. of India.
Different rates have been prescribed for different places subject to certain conditions and stipulations. As the places involved are many, it is considered unnecessary to communicate the rates of allowances admissible in various places to all Heads of Depts. etc. A set of orders which are issued by the Govt. of India and which contain the rates of allowances admissible in various places is sent to the Accountant General, Andhra, for his information. Another set of orders is kept with the Govt. in the Finance Department for reference by the Depts. of the Secretariat.
The question of incorporating the rates of allowance admissible in suitable places in the Fundamental Rules will be considered in due course after the Govt. of India incorporate the rates in their F.Rs.
