limit for the submission of the claim.

months after the completion of the return journey, if no advance had been drawn

in a position to submit the claim within the prescribed time limit and the
Ministry/Department is satisfied that he was not able to do so due to
compelling circumstances beyond his control. The Ministry/Department concerned
with the concurrence of Financial Advisor can admit the claims in such cases in
relaxation of the provisions subject to the following time Limits without
