Is it permissible to take a transportation allowance and monthly overtime pay from the company as an appreciation for work, even though transportation and overtime are done only sparingly?

If the allowance for transportation or overtime is in exchange for actual work you have performed, then there is no harm in taking it in accordance with the company's regulations. But taking it without actual work is not permissible, due to the deception involved and consuming the company's money unjustly.
