1 st statement is talking about providing conveying allowance and assumption says about not providing conveyance allowance. So it is against statement.

Do we have to accept the statement as it is written there, whether it concerns to reality or not ?

Option D.
As conveneyance is provided only to help people so that they can come on time with. This have nothing to do with discipline.

It may or may not bring punctuality so Option 2 alone is implicit.

I agree with @Ravindra the statement 2 is too strong cannot be said to be implicit.

I agree with @Ravindra and @Harshal. The statement doesn't say anything about discipline or what happens to the employees who are late. Also, the statement only mentions one topic-- conveyance allowance-- so it can't be said that discipline and reward ALWAYS go hand in hand if the statement is only talking about one particular issue.

By the way can someone tell me how conveyance allowance is can be called as a reward to employee? As it is for all it may be received by someone who often comes late.
