Thus, below we have calculated the expenses of the government employees for different kinds of vehicles/transport based on the 20 KM Distance.
Conveyance Expenses for Cars
- Petrol per litre: Rs 180/-
- Use of Petrol for 20 KM = approx. 2 litres
- So, 2 x180 = Rs 360/-
- Monthly expenses (excluding Sundays): 26 x 360 = RS 9360/-
- Maintainaces Charges = Rs 5000/-
- Total expenses: 9360 + 5000 = 14360
Conveyance Expenses for Bikes
- Petrol per litre: Rs 180/-
- Use of Petrol for 25 KM = approx. 0.5 litres
- So, 0.5 x180 = Rs 90/-
- Monthly expenses (excluding Sundays): 26 x 90 = RS 2340/-
- Maintainaces Charges = Rs 2500/-
- Total expenses: 2340 + 2500 = Rs 4840/-
Conveyance Expenses for Private Taxi
- Daily expenses for 20 KM = Rs 800/-
- Monthly expenses: 800 x 26 = Rs 20800/-
Conveyance Expenses for Private Rikshaw
- Daily expenses for 20 KM = Rs 600/-
- Monthly expenses: 600 x 26 = Rs 15600/-
