Many employees asked me about the Conveyance Charges for Late Sitting Admissibility for Government employees.  A number of them asked that they work in the office even after working hours.  Are they eligible for the Late Sitting Conveyance Allowance?  If eligible how much they will get this allowance? Whether they will get CA for late sitting at the same rate during working days and holidays? Let’s discuss all these questions in detail keeping in view the Punjab Government.

The main question is the eligibility of the Conveyance Charges for Late Sitting.  The condition mentioned in Punjab Government rules is that the detainment of the employee in the office is beyond two hours of the usual closing hours. Certificate from the concerned officer not below the rank of Deputy Secretary or equivalent to the effect that detention of the official(s) was necessary for connection with official business, is necessary.
