Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing this email seeking to know about the privacy related issue covering once own telephone calls, when working in a position in an institute and claim reimbursement expenses for the work carried out. Usually, as per the designation and role, there can be either a cap in the amount that can be claimed or a percent of the total telephone bills.
I have myself worked in a private company where the monthly claim that I can raise was subject to max 1000 rs. They used to collect the summary page alone and not the details call list. Recently I am in a position of a committee member where I am eligible for 70% of the local and national claims, and 100% of the international calls. It has always been a practice to collect only the summary statement. But recently they have brought in a requirement that you have to submit full telephone bills. This list will include my personal call history as well.
I want to know the following
1) Is it legal to seek the detailed call list of an individual, when the same applies for reimbursements
2) What are the legal protection that an individual have in matter of own call details
3) In the above mentioned new rule, the rule has been amended and I am asked to submit the detailed call history in retrospective manner, as well. Is it legal to apply rules in retrospective manner
4) Is the rule different for government, PSU, autonomous body, and Private companies
