2.         Each application for greater facilities than those afforded by these rules shall be considered on its own merits.

3.         An application for permission to visit engineering works at the public expense should be made to the Government.  The applicant should state specifically what particular works he proposes to visit.

4.         Such application as may be approved by Government and sanctioned by the competent authority will be forwarded to the High Commissioner for India, with a request that the necessary arrangements may be made.  In the forwarding letter, it will be clearly stated  whether or not halting allowance should be granted.

5.         After completing his tour of inspection, the Government employee will be required to forward to the High Commissioner for India for transmission to the Government, a report or paper of notes on the works examined, embracing more especially his views as to the applicability to India or works of a similar description.  If the report appears to the High Commissioner satisfactory, the Government employee will be paid his traveling expenses under the rules given in Appendix 10.  For this purpose, the report should be accompanied by full and detailed particulars of expenses incurred in traveling to and from the works visited, supported if possible, by complete and detailed vouchers for all items of bonafide traveling expenses which will not include hotel bills.

7.         A Government employee permitted to avail himself of the privilege granted by these rules, will be paid by the High Commissioner, the cost of first class return tickets by rails and steamer from London to the places which he may be required to visit.  He will, also subject to the preceding paragraph, be granted a daily allowance, on such scale as the competent authority may fix, from time to time, during the period of study.  Forms for the submission of claims for traveling and subsistence allowances may be had on application to the secretary, Commerce and Revenue Department, at the India Office, and claims should be submitted to High Commissioner for payment.

APPENDIX  20-A

(Referred to in Note 7 below rule 6.2)

Terms to be granted to Government employees sent abroad for training under the various schemes

 

1.         When Government employees are sponsored by the various Department of the State Government for training abroad under the various Four program etc., and the schemes operated through non-official channels (Rock-Feller Foundation, Ford Foundation, etc.) the grant of deputation terms will be regulated as follows: -

 

(i)         Pay - The entire period of the Government employee’s absence from his post in India will be treated as period of deputation on full pay which he would have drawn had he remained on duty in India.

 

(ii)        Dearness Allowance - During the entire period of training the Government employee concerned may be allowed to draw dearness allowance at the rate at which he would have drawn it had he not proceeded on deputation abroad.  Apart from dearness allowance temporary allowance will also be admissible according to the instructions for the grant of that allowance.

 

(iii)       Compensatory Allowance - This allowance would also be admissible at the same rate as he would have drawn in India but for his deputation abroad, during the first six months of absence from his post in India subject to the fulfillment of the conditions laid down in rules 5.3 (b) and 5.5 of the Punjab Civil Services Rules, Volume I, Part I.  No compensatory allowance will be admissible during the training period beyond six months.

 

(iv)       House-rent Allowance or Recovery of Rent - This will be at the same rate as he would have drawn in India but for his deputation abroad, during the entire period of his training subject to the fulfillment of the conditions laid down in rules 5.3 (b) and 5.5 of the Punjab Civil Services Rules, Volume I, Part I.  If the Government employee concerned is allowed to retain Government accommodation during the period of deputation, the rent therefore should continue to be charged at the same rate at which he would have been normally charged, had the officer not proceeded on deputation.

 

It should be ensured that the period of deputation of officers sent aboard for training is not longer than absolutely necessary.

 

3.         (i)         Further, the training of Government employees aboard under the financially aided schemes and under the schemes operated through non-official channels such as Rockefeller Foundation, Ford Foundation etc.; should invariably be at the instance of the Department concerned. In no case should the Government employees themselves approach or negotiate direct with the Foreign Government or Organizations for scholarships, Before sponsoring a case for training abroad under the terms mentioned in para 1 above, it is necessary to ensure that the services of the Government employee concerned will be available to Government at least for a reasonable period, say five years, after the completion of training and that the officer should also posses adequate background of the subject or field in which he would be receiving training. The following conditions should, therefore, generally be satisfied for the grant of deputation terms to a Government employee sponsored by Government for awards under the training Schemes :-

 

(a)        He should have at least five years to serve after the conclusion of training and is not expected to retire within that period.

 

(b)        In the case of a Government employee on loan from a Union or State Government or a quasi-Government body, the lending authority should agree to make him available to the Government of Punjab for a period of not less than five years after the conclusion of training, if required.  

 

(c)        In the case of a Government employee in the temporary employ of the Government of Punjab, there should be reasonable chance of his remaining in service for a minimum period of five years after the conclusion of the training and he should be required to give an undertaking in writing that he agrees to serve the Punjab Government of the like period.

 

(d)        He should have completed a minimum of 5 years’ service.  The limit may, however, be relaxed in cases where the very nature of the training does not warrant such a restriction e.g. casers where individuals are recruited on the condition that they should undergo training before they are posted to regular duties.

           

(e)        A period of deputation of 18 months one time should ordinarily be regarded as a suitable maximum in such cases

 

            (ii)        Where a particular scheme provides for any specific conditions to be fulfilled before a person is approved for training, the same should be followed in preference to the general conditions referred to above.  For instance, if a scheme prescribes a maximum age limit for the trainees, the same should be adhered to in preference to the general condition of at least five years’ service after the conclusion of training laid down in para 3(i) (a) above.  Where, however, no specific conditions are laid down by the foreign agency or Government of India, administering the scheme, the general conditions referred to above should invariably be enforced before a person is sponsored for training abroad.

 

4.         The permanent and temporary Government employees deputed abroad for training shall be required to execute bonds in Forms D and E appended to these terms.  The bond should be got executed in all cases of deputation on training, irrespective of the periods of training and irrespective also of the fact whether the Government employee is allowed deputation terms under para I above or any other terms.

 

5.         The lump-sum amount of refund to be specified in the bond should include all moneys paid to the Government employee concerned or expended on his account e.g. pay and allowances, leave salary, cost of fees, traveling and other expenses, cost of international travel and cost of training abroad met by the foreign Government agency concerned.

 

6.         An undertaking to the effect that they will not be accompanied by their wives, children or dependents shall be obtained from the trainees before they are sponsored.

 

7.         An undertaking to the effect that the trainee shall not on his own initiative, on arrival or during his stay in the country of training take up the question of extension or variation of his training with the authority responsible for his training abroad shall be obtained from him.  He may however, if he thinks it necessary, approach his sponsors for extension or variation of his training abroad who after necessary consultation with the authority concerned, will decide one way or the other about it.  Where the period of training abroad is extended, a Supplementary bond as given in forms D.I. and E.I. shall be got executed from such Government employees who are granted extension (s) of training.  The lump sum amount of refund to be specified in the Supplementary bond should include all the moneys paid to the Government employee concerned or expended on his account during the extended period of training e.g., pay and allowances, leave salary, cost of fees, traveling and other expenses, cost of international travel and cost of training abroad met by the foreign Government/agency concerned.

 

8.         Actual sanctions in individual cases regarding the deputation terms mentioned above shall be issued only in consultation with the Finance Department in accordance with the existing practice.
