We want to always consider the statement as a true fact even though it is totally wrong.
So here according to the statement 1st one does not follow and 2nd one even though it is wrong really, we want to take it as a true based on the statement given [blindly trust the statement as true].

Can you please tell why statement 2 is implicit?
In the main statement, the author is nowhere talking about discipline and all. Please explain.

Can anyone explain why 1st assumption is not implicit. It also talks about the statement. Please help me out.

From my opinion also option D should be correct.
Were it the case that, conveyance allowance will be given on punctuality basis then option B would have made sense. But clearly that is not the case here.

Option D is correct. As rightly shorted out by Ravindra and Ali, conveyance allowance has nothing to do with discipline and it is not a reward to employees.

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.

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.

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

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