When you are invoking the
RTI Act as a citizen, it automatically means that like any other citizen, the facility to inspect the records is available to you at your own cost and time. In the instant case you happen to be an employee of BSNL and the
PIO happens to a superior officer of your own employer. It does not mean that your
PIO is deputing you to inspect the records at various places, because you are not discharging any official work of your employer in that process. Hence there is no scope for you to claim TA/DA for such inspection of documents, since they are not part of your official duties.
The matter of TA/DA for attending an enquiry proceedings is a totally different issue which is governed by your service regulations/standing orders.
