Hi team members.
f the company permits the Sales team to use public transport, taxis, or their own vehicles during work in the Mumbai area, could you please advise on the mileage and meal reimbursement amounts? Additionally, do we allow a combination of public and personal transport for these purposes?
Thanks for your sharing and advice.

Normally the travel policy will say what will be the eligibility of each sales person. It may vary depending upon the grade like, Sales Executives, Asst Manager, Area Manager etc.
Normally, the travel reimbursement will be fixed by kilo meter travelled. It may not be reimbursement of actual amounts but a fixed amount per kilometer travelled so that the person can decide which mode should he chose, whether to use public transport or use his own vehicle. In respect of managers, there may be a provision for taking taxi, or a travel allowance at higher rates so that they can use their personal cars.
In order to compensate the food expenses, there will be a daily allowance which is not forming part of salary. Depending upon the city, the amount shall vary. There can be a provision in the travel policy that in case overnight stay is required, the employee can stay in such hotels the cost of rent shall not exceed a particular amount. That amount will also depend on the rent available in the cities. The employee is required to submit the hotel bill to claim the amount. In some cases, a composite amount will be fixed for each category of employees which will include both food and stay expenses. In such cases, there will not be any requirement of producing bills in support of stay and food, but he can make his own arrangements for stay and food, and get the fixed amount as specified.
