04 July 2013 The employees are eligible to draw Rs.1000/- PM towards internet expenses since they work from home due to odd hours even though the broad band connection works out to Rs.1,500/-. From audit point of view, whether it is mandatory whether the connectivity should be in the name of the employee. Suppose the employee uses the home connection which is in the name of family members, whether he is not eligible to avail the reimbursement. Here in this case only whole broad band bill is not reimbursed and only a part of it. This is like reimbursement of TA and DA. Some times actual receipts are submitted and if actual receipt is not there, certain amount is paid without actual receipt. How to convince the auditor that the receipt in the name of the family member is genuine with the address as per HR records, one to be reimbursed?

05 July 2013 Thanks Ganesh. I have just mentioned T & D rules for analogy sake. But this is not coming under the same. I need solid reason or precedent to convince the auditor.
