Highlights of Cabinet approval on Allowances
1. Number of allowances recommended to be abolished and subsumed:
Government has decided not to abolish 12 of the 53 allowances which were recommended to be
abolished by the 7th CPC. The decision to retain these allowances has been taken keeping in
view the specific functional requirements of Railways, Posts and Scientific Departments such as
Space and Atomic Energy. It has also been decided that 3 of the 37 allowances recommended to
be subsumed by the 7th CPC will continue as separate identities. This has been done on account
of the unique nature of these allowances. The rates of these allowances have also been enhanced
as per the formula adopted by the 7th CPC. This will benefit over one lakh employees belonging
to specific categories in Railways, Posts, Defence and Scientific Departments.
2. House Rent Allowance
HRA is currently paid @ 30% for X (population of 50 lakh & above), 20% for Y (5 to 50 lakh)
and 10% for Z (below 5 lakh) category of cities. 7th CPC has recommended reduction in the
existing rates to 24% for X, 16% for Y and 8% for Z category of cities. As the HRA at the
reduced rates may not be sufficient for employees falling in lower pay bracket, it has been decided
that HRA shall not be less than ?5400, ?3600 and ?1800 for X, Y and Z category of cities
respectively. This floor rate has been calculated @ 30%, 20% and 10% of the minimum pay of
?18000. This will benefit more than 7.5 lakh employees belonging to Levels 1 to 3.
7th CPC had also recommended that HRA rates will be revised upwards in two phases to 27%,
18% and 9% when DA crosses 50% and to 30%, 20% and 10% when DA crosses 100%. Keeping
in view the current inflation trends, the Government has decided that these rates will be
revised upwards when DA crosses 25% and 50% respectively. This will benefit all employees
who do not reside in government accommodation and get HRA.
3. Siachen Allowance
7th CPC had placed Siachen Allowance in the RH-Max cell of the R&H Matrix with two slabs
of ?21,000 and ?31,500. Recognizing the extreme nature of risk and hardship faced by officers /
PBORs on continuous basis in Siachen, the Government has decided to further enhance the rates
of Siachen Allowance which will now go up from the existing rate from ?14,000 to ?30,000 per
month for Jawans & JCOs (Level 8 and below) and from ?21,000 to ?42,500 per month for
Officers (Level 9 and above). With this enhancement, Siachen Allowance will become more
than twice the existing rates. It will benefit all the soldiers and officers of Indian Army who are
posted in Siachen.
4. Dress Allowance
At present, various types of allowances are paid for provisioning and maintenance of uniforms/
outfits such as Washing Allowance, Uniform Allowance, Kit Maintenance Allowance, Outfit
Allowance etc. These have been rationalised and subsumed in newly proposed Dress Allowance
to be paid annually in four slabs @ ?5000, ?10,000, ?15,000 and ?20,000 per annum for various
category of employees. This allowance will continue to be paid to Nurses on a monthly basis in
view of high maintenance and hygiene requirements. Government has decided to pay higher rate
of Dress Allowance to SPG personnel keeping in view the existing rates of Uniform Allowance
paid to them (which is higher than the rates recommended by the 7th CPC) as also their specific
requirements. The rates for specific clothing for different categories of employees will be governed
separately.
5. Tough Location Allowance
Some allowances based on geographical location such as Special Compensatory (Remote Locality)
Allowance (SCRLA), Sunderban Allowance & Tribal Area Allowance have been subsumed
in Tough Location Allowance. The areas under TLA have been classified into three categories
and the rates will be governed as per different cells of R&H Matrix and will be in the
range of ?1000 - ?5300 per month. The 7th CPC had recommended that TLA will not be admissible
with Special Duty Allowance (SDA) payable in North-East, Ladakh and the Islands. Government
has decided that employees will be given the option to avail of the benefit of SCRLA at
pre-revised rates along with SDA at revised rates
.
