TA on Transfer includes 4 components : (i) Travel entitlement for self and family (ii) Composite Transfer and packing grant (CTG) (iii) Reimbursement of charges on transportation of personal effects (iv) Reimbursement of charges on transportation of conveyance.
(i) Travel Entitlements :

However, for transfer to and from the Island territories of Andaman, Nicobar & Lakshadweep, CTG shall be paid at the rate of 100% of last month’s basic pay. Further, NPA and MSP shall not be included as part of basic pay while determining entitlement for CTG.

No transfer grant shall be admissible to the spouse transferred later, in case both the transfers are ordered within 60 days. The existing provisions shall continue to be applicable in case of transfers after a period of six months or more.

The claim for reimbursement shall be admissible subject to the production of actual receipts/ vouchers by the Govt. servant. Production of receipts/vouchers is mandatory in r/o transfer cases of North Eastern Region, Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep also.

COMMENTS
Sir,
As per SR-116 (b) (ii) no travelling allowance would be admissible if a member added to the family after issue of transfer order. My query is :-
(i) which date is taken in this case; (a) date of issue of transfer order or (b) date of move mentioned in Tfr order. since move is not implemented on due date due to administrative reasons.
(ii) Whether transfer of luggage from old duty stn to new stn can be claimed as per entitlement?
Siir, For transport of personal belongings by road our office is paying only the rate in km multiplied by the proportional(proportion of max weight allowed by steamer) weight, though the circular says by kilometer only. Is this the correct practice.
Transportation of personal effects by road is as per kilometer basis as per entitlement maximum weight only irrespective of weight of personal belongings.

Office is not doing Finances business. They are having some heads of funds in Budget allotment in so many times if any body has to go transfer the in the month of February/March T.A. funds may not available during that period, actually they have to barrow from outside with more interest & they have to proceed that transfer, otherwise their salary may not be given. If he goes new place of transfer then only his salary & his T.A. claim may be given in the next Financial Year funds only.

Sir, please clarify whether GST charged by truck owners over admissibility amount while transporting house hold goods is also reimbursible over restricted amount while restricting with per KM rate.
eg A person paid Rs. 80000/- + GST 18% Rs. 14400 for transporting his house goods from A station to B station (distance 1400 KM). He is entitled for Rs.50/- per KM.
Thus his entitlement restricted to Rs.70000/- . Whether 18% GST is also reimbursable to him over 70000/- or otherwise.
Entitlement restricted to total of Rs.70,000/- only.
