2.0 Item 49: - The staff side stated that the work of clearance of cheques should not be brought under the ambit of conveyance Allowance as the officials entrusted the work pertaining to clearance of cheques, have to travel 40-45 KMs. a day and used to incur an expenditure of minimum Rs.50/- every day.
