2. Maximum amount sanctioned per project for attending a scientific event will be based on the total grant to be received in DJST as presented in the following Table.

Amount in the subaccount	Maximum to be sanctioned per project
< 5 lacs	12 %
5-<10 lacs	Rs 75,000
10-<20 lacs	Rs 1,00,000
20-<50 lacs	Rs 1,50,000
50 lacs	Rs 2,00,000
Multiples of 50 lacs	Rs. 2,00,000 for each 50 lacs

3. This amount can be earmarked, when the request letter is submitted to open a subaccount in DJST along with utilization budget. However, it will be released depending on the deposited amount (prorate basis).

4. If the provision for attending scientific event is not made while submitting utilization budget, then the amount sanctioned will be based on the balance in the sub-account at the time of your request letter.

5. Even if the amount is budgeted and sanction is taken at the start of the project, trustees’ approval needs to be taken prior to its utilization.

6. Even if the amount earmarked for scientific event is more, a maximum of Rs. 50,000/- per person per year will be provided for attending scientific events in India. Actual expenses incurred will be reimbursed on submission of tickets, receipt of registration fees and hotel bills.

7. If additional amount remains (after releasing maximum for the individual for that year) other person in the department can be sponsored or the investigator can used it next year.

8. To attend a scientific event abroad, prospective planning is needed. Application in the prescribed format needs to be submitted at least 2 months in advance so that due consideration can be given. To substantiate the merit, the investigator will be invited to brief DJST committee. The decision will be based on the individual merit. DJST cannot be the exclusive source for funding but the investigator is expected to explore other sources. Actual expenses incurred will be sanctioned. Even if the amount earmarked of scientific event is more, a maximum of Rs. 75,000/- will be provided for attending scientific event abroad per person.

9. Decision of trustees will be final.
