After the war, Hanumanji submitted his Travel Allowance Bill for his official tour for collecting Sanjeevani Booti to Ayodhya administration. The Auditor in Bill section raised 3 objections: (1) Hanumanji did not take prior permission of the appropriate authority (Bharat), the King of Ayodhya, during the relevant time for his travel; (2) Hanumanji being Grade-D officer was not entitled to air travel; (3) Hanumanji was asked to bring Sanjeevani Booti, just a single plant, but he carried a whole mountain (unauthorized excess baggage). The Auditor returned the bill. King Ram could do nothing except mark it down for re- examination. A worried Laxman approached the Auditor and offered a bribe of 10% of the T.A. Bill amount. The Auditor now wrote on the Bill: Re-examined: 1. Even during the relevant time, Ram was the de-jure king through his Paduka. 2. Further in an emergency, non-entitled officers can be authorized ex-post facto to fly. 3. Also excess baggage is justified as bringing a wrong plant would have entailed multiple journeys with extra cost; hence bill may be paid. Moral:Boss is the king...he will do anything if employe is his favourite
