Hi,
Recently I traveled for company work to mumbai city it was a 2 days trip. I got travel expenses reimbursed but company rejected my claim for my meals. I claimed Rs 260/- for two days but I lost the bills/receipts and unable to attach bill with my claim application.
Later I noticed that I made the payment through credit card and the credit card statement show the transaction for my food expenses. I requested my finance department to consider credit card statement as proof for the reimbursement. Fianance department declined my request and insist on bills/receipts from the restaurant.
My questions
1] For reimbursement of expense (daily), bills/receipt is the only proof? No other proof is allowed?
2] Isn't a credit card statement a valid document to grant reimbursement
3] Are there any exception for providing document for reimbursement of expenses
My compnay has per diem expense limit for mumbai city as follows
food rs 400/-
conveyance rs 200/-
Please help and guide me understanding importance of bills /receipts, credit card statements
Regards
