What is causing the increased trend of requiring receipts for per diem expenses? Do you think it’s tax issues? Clients/firms not wanting to reimburse alcohol? General stinginess?

Two options come to mind immediately:
Client MSAs / agreements negotiated to limit costs
Partners on fixed fee projects leveraging this as a profitability buffer

Sometimes it’s clients that require receipts

I haven’t personally noticed a trend.... all of my projects have a reimbursable expense budget set at a % of fees.

Per diem typically means a fixed amount. What you’re describing is an expense cap with a receipt requirement. Generally clients want to reimburse actual expenses and cap them because they end up paying less out of pocket

I used to claim 2k every month for WIFI in TCS for 4 months under straight through employee referral and it by passed my supervisors approval too but a mail used to go to supervisor.
He questioned me a lot after 4 months as if he is paying 2k from his own pocket and I stopped.
Worst policy here. 410 wifi reimbursement we get in TCS lol that gets added into our salary every month.
A normal phone recharge costs more than that and TCS still stuck in its cheap mentality of cost saving.

My wife is worried about her job. She works as a vendor to wipro.her manager told her to send resume and docs to upload, they will transition her from vendor to wipro payroll.
