It is to be noted that according to the rules, HRA has been increased because the DA has exceeded 25%, so the HRA has increased to 27%.
Lakhs of Central government employees, who have been waiting with abated breath, will finally get their Dearness Allowance (DA) hike of 28 per cent, along with their basic salary. Additionally, the House Rent Allowance (HRA) of the Central government employees has also increased. The September salary of Central government employees will now come with a double bonanza.
It is to be noted that according to the rules, HRA has been increased because the DA has exceeded 25 per cent. Therefore, the Central government has also decided to increase the HRA to 27 per cent.
On July 7, 2017, the Department of Expenditure had issued an order in which it was said that when DA will exceed 25 per cent, the HRA will also be revised. Since July 1, the Dearness Allowance has increased to 28 per cent, so it is necessary to revise the HRA as well.
According to the government's order, the HRA is divided into three categories according to the cities - X, Y and Z. After revision, HRA for X category cities will be 27 per cent of basic pay, similarly, HRA for Y category cities will be 18 per cent of basic pay while for Z category cities it will be 9 per cent of basic pay.
According to the 7th Pay Commission Pay Matrix, the minimum basic salary of central government employees is Rs 18,000. On this basic salary of Rs 18,000, Central government employees were getting DA of Rs 3060 till June 2021 at the rate of 17 per cent. Since July 2021, the Central government employees have started getting Rs 5040 every month as per the DA of 28%. It means there is an increment of Rs 1980 in the monthly salary of the employees. Accordingly, the pension of the pensioners will also be decided.
