After the war in the Ramayana, Hanumanji submitted his T.A. Bill for his official tour for collecting Sanjeevani Booti to Ayodhya administration. The LDC(Lower Division Clerk) in Finance departement raised 3 objections (1) Hanumanji did not take prior permission of the appropriate auth...ority (King 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 LDC returned the bill. King Ram could do nothing except mark it down for reexamination. A worried Laxman approached the LDC and offered a bribe of 10% of the T.A. Bill amount. The LDC now wrote on the Bill: 'Reexamined: Even during the relevant time, Ram was the de- jure king through his Paduka. Further in an emergency, non- entitled officers can be authorized ex-post facto to fly. Also excess baggage is justified as bringing a wrong plant would have entailed multiple journeys with extra cost; hence bill may be paid. The T.A. Bill was paid accordingly.
