at the rates authorized for journeys on tour.
(2) When a course training is divided into two or more terms, each of more of six weeks
in duration, travelling allowance for journey performed from the place of training and
back to it again at the end of one term and the beginning of the next shall, if the interval
has been spent in a continuation of training in some other place, ordinarily be drawn at the
rate authorized for journeys on tour; provided that the Deputy Inspector-General in control
of the course of training in question may, by special order in each case, permit the
allowance to be drawn at the rates authorized for journeys on transfer, if satisfied that the
actual expense unavoidably incurred merits such concession. If the interval between two
terms is treated as vacation, no travelling allowance will be admissible for journeys performed
in proceeding on or returning from such vacation.

sub-rule (f) above are made, shall take special care to prevent abuse of the concession
authorized. Claims for the cost of conveying personal effects by goods train should not
be admitted without special reasons in each case, and no claim for the transport of a motor
cycle or other conveyance will be allowed, unless the officer making such claim has been
actually ordered by the Inspector-General to maintain such conveyance at the place of
training.
