But if in such of the towns as mentioned in column 5 of the table in which lodging facility does not exist and the government servants of Category-I stay in such hotels/establishments which provide lodging and boarding facilities at the "Scheduled Tariffs" then in such circumstances the government servants will be entitled to daily allowance at the rate of Rs. 60 per day on furnishing the relevant vouchers and a certificate in the following form:
