(G.P.M.F.O.M. No F.7(9)-R2(Rwp)/62 dated the 30th June,
1962).
The rate at which the daily allowance is to be calculated when more
than one place is to be visited in a single day is not mentioned in

In order to clarify the position, it has been decided in consultation with the

ether for calculating the daily allowance for transit at the rates mentioned in the
Government Decision No (1).

(G.P.M.F,O.M. No F.20 (3)-R2 (Rwp)/60 dated 8-12-1960).
(2)
A doubt had arisen whether in the case of Government servants who
performed air journeys during the day time and were required to spend the following
night at place of duty, daily allowance as for State Guests under para 6(c) would be
admissible in addition to the normal daily allowance under para-6(a) or (b) ibid, as
the case may be, for the following night. The correct position is that the daily
allowance for the transit period is admissible to Government servants only if they
perform and overnight journey by air and do not, therefore, become entitled to daily
allowance is admissible for the transit period under para-6 (a) ibid, but daily
allowance at the appropriate rate for each night of halt on duty shall be permissible.

is expressed in U.S dollars, British Shillings and Pakistani rupees and
is payable in the local currency of the country concerned at the current

countries which have devalued their currencies, daily allowance shall
be payable at the current rate of exchange, so that the amount in the
currency of the country concerned remains the same as before the

accommodation equal to the daily allowance admissible to a Category (II) Officer. It
is clarified that accommodation for Category (I) Officers should be arranged through
the Pak. Mission in the country concerned. Where, however, a Category (I) Officer
wants to make his own arrangement for accommodation he can exercise the option
to convert himself to Category (II) and claim daily allowance accordingly. It is not
intended that payment of the cost of accommodation should be made to the officer
concerned in such cases.
(G.P.M.F.O.M. No. F. 7(18)-R2 64 dated the Ist Oct 1964).
2.
The cost of accommodation in respect of Category (I) officers should not
ordinarily exceed the daily allowance rates admissible to Category (II) official at a
particular station. In exceptional cases where accommodation on cheaper rates
could not be arranged, the Mission has the discretion to exceed the prescribed limit.
It is not necessary to obtain Government sanction where daily allowance exceeds
the prescribed limit in such exceptional cases.
(G.P.M.F.A. Memo: No. Rules 6/7/62, dated 9.12.1964).
GOVERNMENT DECISION BELOW PARA - 8
Where the expenditure incurred at the place of halt in hiring a taxi or other
mode of public transport for journey on duty is in excess of 10% of the normal rate of
daily allowance at the station concerned, proof is needed to admit the charges thus
claimed.
(G.P.M.E.A. letter No. Rules/4/13/61, dated 19.2.1963, endorsed to
all Pakistan Missions abroad).
GOVERNMENT DECISION BELOW PARA - 15

draw, in foreign currency, 50% of their pay for the actual period of their stay abroad,
subject to condition that the amount drawn in any calendar month will not exceed

(G.P.M.F O.M. No. F. II (I)-RII (ii)/58 dated 28.1.1958 and 26.7.1958).
2.
A question was raised whether a Government servant who was doing some
extra work which constituted specific addition to his duties in terms of F.R. 9 (25),
was holding more than one post at the same time in terms of F.R - 49, or was
holding charge of the current duties of a higher post in addition to his own duties,
and was in that connection drawing special pay or additional pay, should continue to
draw such special or additional pay in addition to the pay of his own post during the
period of deputation abroad and if so, whether he should draw it irrespective of the
fact that the charge of the additional post or duties was entrusted to another
Government servant for the period of his deputation. It was decided that in such
cases the Government servant concerned might be permitted to draw special or
additional pay during the period of his deputation outside Pakistan upto a maximum
of four months.
