Although no where in the Act it is not mentioned that if Conveyance Facility is provided then Transport Allowance should not be allowed. But the purpose for which transport allowance can be given is specified and according to me for one purpose two expemtion can not be allowed.
Moreover according to me with conveyance facility transport allowance should not be given.
