Conveyance allowance

A monetary benefit provided by employers to cover the cost of an employee’s travel between home and workplace. It is typically paid monthly and forms a component of the salary package when transport is not provided directly by the employer. This allowance helps employees manage commuting costs such as fuel or public transportation.

Conveyance reimbursement

This is a process where employees are repaid for actual travel expenses incurred during official duties outside the regular commute. Unlike a fixed allowance, reimbursement requires the submission of travel-related bills such as fuel receipts or taxi fares. It typically does not apply to regular commuting but covers occasional business travel within the city or region.
