Dear friends,

Can anyone please suggest what the trend is regarding deputation allowance? In public sectors, it's normally 10% of basic pay, but I would like to have detailed information on the same in private sectors.

Thanks,

Hi Anjali,

Dear friends, can anyone please suggest what the trend is regarding deputation allowance? In public sectors, it's normally 10% of basic pay, but I would like to have detailed information on the Private sectors. Thanks.

The Private sector generally has a flexible approach unlike the PSUs, and the trend is as follows:
Assume an executive is deputed to another location for, let's say, six months.
- His salary component includes a variable component called a special allowance or deputation allowance, which ranges from 20-40% of CTC.
- His lodging and boarding expenses are taken care of.
- The company takes care of his travel expenses for his spouse and kids for three trips only.
- His telephone limits for personal calls are borne by the company as per the mutually agreed reasonable limits.
- His travel expenses to the location where his family is based on weekends are paid by the company for two trips per month.

Hope this information helps.

I was on a trip to Delhi from Mumbai. The company in which my fiancé was working showed interest in hiring me, and they said I'll handle things from Mumbai, which is my hometown. In Delhi, they gave me a stay with my fiancé for the induction period. Later, I started operating from Mumbai. They wanted more manpower in Delhi, so they asked me to book my own flight (please note this), and they reimbursed the amount after 2 months.

My fiancé left the company as he wasn't comfortable. They asked me to move out as they didn't allow my fiancé to stay in my room. Also, they didn't pay me money to travel from the residence to the office. They promised to give me a flight allowance once a month, but during a serious emergency, they gave me no money to fly.

Neither did they pay my fiancé for his travel back to his hometown as he was called by them to work there. Can you help me understand how I can claim the money I spent due to the company?
