whether Rule below SR-148 for admitting Travelling Allowance (TA) claim
by family of deceased employees beyond one year period of the death of

with the approval of the FA concerned, in individual cases attendant
with special circumstances.’

limit of one year with the approval of FA of the concerned Ministry,
will also be applicable in case of family of the deceased Govt. servant.
