Your questions, in practice · India
Can mileage be claimed for motorcycles or scooters?
Business motorcycle or scooter journeys can be covered. Record the vehicle type and use its applicable scheme or actual costs. Do not apply a car rate by default: it may concern different vehicles or costs.
Can mileage be claimed for bicycles?
Business cycling can be covered under the company’s arrangements. Record the distance and purpose and apply a cycling-specific method. Separate business visits from ordinary commuting, which may follow a different scheme.
