[No. 52

Officers entitled to lodging-allowance, when appointed to relieving duty involving separate payment for such duty, will not be entitled to claim lodging-allowance for a longer time than one week after the relieving duty commences.

Officers are not entitled to draw travelling-allowance for any time during which they perform relieving duty, except as follows: When in performing relieving duty an officer is not required to stay more than three nights in the place where such duty is performed, he may be paid travelling-allowance instead of relieving-allowance. But travelling-allowance may be paid for the day occupied in travelling to or from headquarters, provided that the time occupied exceeds six hours on each occasion.

In any special case the Commissioner may authorize payment of an allowance at a higher or lower rate.

An allowance in accordance with this regulation shall be granted only in cases where an officer is required to perform purely relieving duty.

A relieving-allowance shall not be paid to an officer for any period in excess of one month, or in cases where the period of relief is likely to be in excess of one month, without the previous approval of the Commissioner thereto. In such cases, where practicable, a commuted allowance will be payable.
