Cities with a population of more than 50 lakhs come in the X category. Central employees in these cities will get 27% HRA. It will be 18 percent in Y category cities and 9 percent in Z category.

How HRA will be calculated

According to the 7th Pay Matrix, the maximum basic salary of central employees is Rs 56000 per month, then his HRA will have to be calculated at 27%. Which is like this.

HRA = Rs 56000 x 27/100 = Rs 15120 month

ago HRA = Rs 56000 x

24/100 = Rs 13440 month increase = 15120-13440 = Rs 1680 per month

How much HRA was available earlier

When the 7th Pay Commission came into force, the HRA was reduced from 30 per cent, 20 per cent and 10 per cent to 24, 18 and 9 per cent. Also it had made 3 categories X, Y and Z. During that time DA was reduced to zero. At that time itself, it was mentioned in the notification of DoPT that when the DA crosses the level of 25%, then the HRA will be automatically revised.
