Govt. Doubles Transport Allowance for Disabled Employees
The government is giving more money to certain employees with disabilities to help them get to work.
This is because getting to work can be harder for them.
A new rule says that some employees, like those who have trouble walking, seeing or hearing will get double the usual amount for transportation.
This change is meant to help make life easier for these employees and show that everyone is important.
The new rules come from the Finance Ministry.
The Finance Ministry issued a directive doubling transport allowance.
The allowance applies to specific disabilities under the 2016 Act.
Eligible disabilities include locomotor, visual, auditory, and intellectual impairments.
Chronic conditions like multiple sclerosis and blood disorders also qualify.
The increase aims to provide financial relief and promote social inclusion.
