Reimbursement of Travel Expenses:

According to the officialnotice, candidates appearing for the UPSC ESE Interview are eligible for reimbursement of travel expenses, limited to the Second Class/Sleeper class train fare on Mail Express trains. This is intended to reduce the financial burden of traveling for the interview.
If candidates opt for other modes or classes of transport, such as air travel or higher train classes, reimbursement will follow S.R.-132 rules. Guidelines for these cases are available on the official UPSC website under the forms and downloads section.
To claim reimbursement, candidates should complete the Travelling Allowance Form available online at UPSC Travelling Allowance Form. Adhering to UPSC’s guidelines ensures smooth processing of claims.
This reimbursement system is part of UPSC’s effort to make the examination process accessible, preventing travel costs from hindering participation in the interview process.
