7th Pay Commission: Cabinet approves hike in allowances for central govt staff from July 1
In a move that will benefit about 50 lakh central government employees
and defence personnel, the Union cabinet on Wednesday approved the
recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission for higher allowances,
including house rent allowance (HRA).
The HRA that has been approved will be 24%, 16% and 8% of the new basic pay, depending on the type of city.
The HRA will not be less than Rs 5,400, Rs 3,600 and Rs 1,800 depending
on the type of city and calculated at 30%, 20% and 10% of minimum pay Rs
18,000,” a government statement said.
The HRA revision will benefit more than 7.5 lakh employees.
HRA constitutes 60% of the total allowance of a government employee’s
pay.
The move could help revive demand at a time when the economy has sagged
after the government’s decision last year to junk 1000-and 500-rupee
bank notes that led to a severe cash crunch. A buoyed consumer sentiment
could also translate into political goodwill for the ruling BJP as the
party heads into another round of state elections, beginning with
Gujarat by December.
The financial implication of revised allowances would be around Rs 30,748 crore per annum, the statement said.
The cabinet decision comes more than a year after the pay of central government employees was increased.
Other allowances increased

30,000 per month and from Rs 21,000 to Rs 42,500 for officers per month
