A)
Rs.800 per day.
B)
Rs 1000 per day.
C)
Rs.1200 per day.
D)
Rs. 1500 per day.
Under the Travel Allowance (TA) and Daily Allowance (DA) rules applicable to Mizoram State Government employees (which generally align with the 7th CPC guidelines and state-specific modifications), Daily Allowance is categorized based on the Pay Level of the officer and the nature of the accommodation.
1. **Pay Level Classification**: An officer in Pay Level 10 falls under the category of 'Officers in Pay Level 10 and above' (or equivalent Grade Pay).
2. **Accommodation Rule**: When a government servant stays in a Government Guest House or a State-run facility (such as Mizoram House in New Delhi), they are not entitled to the full DA rate intended for hotel accommodation. Instead, they are entitled to a reduced rate of DA to cover incidental expenses (food, local transport, etc.) since the lodging cost is already covered by the government.
3. **Rate Application**: For officers in Pay Level 10 and above, the standard reduced DA rate for staying in government-provided accommodation (like Mizoram House) is fixed at Rs. 800 per day.
Therefore, Option (a) is the correct rate for an officer in Pay Level 10 staying at Mizoram House.
