After the war, Hanumanji submitted his Trvl. Allwnce. 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.
