07 November 2024 1. Air conditioned first class rail fare for the shortest route i.e city A to city E, or amount spent, whichever is less.
2. Intermediate cities are not counted, shortest route train fair between first and last city.

01 March 2025 While allowing deduction of one journey, travel expense for city A to B and return from B to A both would be considered as one journey, right?

01 March 2025 Right.............
