Day

A day is counted as  12.00 am to 12.00 pm 


FOR CALCULATION OF DAILY ALLOWANCE

If his absence is less than 24 hrs, without considering the time of beginning of absence and end of absence, it is counted as JUST ONE DAY

But if an officer stays away from his quarters for less than 24 hrs, its just calculated as one day.

An officer traveled from Kottayam to Thiruvananthapuram on 7 th July afternoon and reached his destination at 5.00 pm on the same day. He stayed in Tvm up to 8th July 1.00 pm .

His stay :

5.00 pm to 12.00 am (July 7)= 7.00 hours 

12.00 am to 1.00 pm (July 8) = 13.00 hours 

In normal cases , if stay is more than 6 hours but less than 12 hours he is eligible for 1/2 Daily Allowance and for more than 12 hours but less than 24 hours for one Daily Allowance. But in this case, he is eligible for one DA only as his stay is less than 24 hours.( 20 hrs in this case )
