1. Reference this Ministry’s letter Nos. E(P&A)II/81/DA/1, dated 11.01.1982 and 04.06.1982 on the above subject.
The question of removal of the condition that the wife/ husband of the Railway employees does not accompany him/ her for the entire period of training abroad or a major portion thereof for the entitlement of Dearness Allowance for the entire period of deputation abroad for training in the case of married officers has been under consideration of the Government.
2. The President is now pleased to decide that a Railway employee, deputed for training abroad under the various officially sponsored training schemes, may be allowed dearness allowance at the rate at which he would have drawn dearness allowance had he not proceeded on deputation abroad for training.
Even in cases of stay of more than six months in a single country.
The dearness allowance will be admissible for the entire period of such deputation abroad for training irrespective of the fact whether the wife/ husband accompanies him/ her or not during the entire period of training abroad or a major portion thereof.
3. These orders take effect from 08.02.1985.
4. This issues with the concurrence of Finance Directorate of Ministry of Railways.
