Subsistence allowance is paid to an employee when he is supended pending enquiry.
50% of Basic, DA & other allowances for first 90 days.
75% after 90 days, if the reason for delay is attributed to the workmen then 25%.
Suspension is always a punishment and can be done only after a proper enquiry is done and any suspension without conducting a domestic enquiry would be illegal. Therefore there is no question of subsistence allowance in this case.
