T.A. / D.A. Bill

A T.A./D.A. bill is a Travel Allowance and Dearness Allowance claim document. It records an employee's journey for official examination duty — the stations travelled, distance, mode of travel, and duration — and computes the allowance payable so it can be claimed from the college or board.

Travel Allowance (T.A.) covers the cost of travelling to and from the duty station. Dearness Allowance (D.A.) is a daily allowance towards food and incidental expenses during the duty period.

On this form, journeys over 50 km attract an Out Station Allowance, while journeys within 50 km attract a fixed Dearness Allowance per day.

The distance you enter in kilometres decides which allowance applies. If the distance is greater than 50 km, the Out Station Allowance dropdown appears and you choose the applicable rate. If it is 50 km or less, the form instead shows the Dearness Allowance of ₹400 per day. The correct section appears automatically as you type the distance — no manual switching needed.

For Hyderabad: ₹800 per day (standard) or ₹1,000 per day (higher).

For other places: ₹703 per day (standard) or ₹878.75 per day (higher).

Select the rate applicable to your examination and pay revision as per the official notification governing your duty.

For journeys of 50 km or less, a Dearness Allowance of ₹400 per day is applied. This is shown automatically in the Allowances section when the entered distance is within 50 km, and no rate selection is required.

Ticking Add Half Day D.A. adds an extra half day of Dearness Allowance to the bill. This is used when the duty spilled into an additional partial day beyond the full days worked — for example a late relief or an extra half-day session.

Pick the Date of Joining and Date of Relief using the calendar picker — typing is disabled to enforce the dd/mm/yyyy format, with a selectable range of 12 months before and after today. Then enter the total No. of Days Worked, which is used to multiply the daily allowance rate.

Type the College Code in the code field — after 3 characters an autocomplete list of matching colleges appears. When you leave (blur) the field, the system validates the code and auto-fills the College Name in green, or shows an error in red if the code is not found in the database.
