7th Pay Commission – Final report on allowances in next few days, maximum HRA likely to be Rs 60,000

Post 7th Pay Commission recommendations’ implementation, the new basic pay is Rs 2.5 lakh, for which the HRA would be Rs 60,000, meaning a hike of 122 perce

New Delhi: The Narendra Modi government is likely to bring some good news for over 47 lakh central government employees and 53 lakh pensioners by making a formal announcement on the revised structure for allowances under the Seventh Pay Commission in next few days.

As per media reports, the committee on allowances will submit its final report on Thursday (April 27), when the Finance Minister Arun Jaitley returns to the country after his visit to US and Russia.

The allowances form a sizeable amount of the salary drawn by a government employee.

The committee on allowances headed by Finance Secretary Ashok Lavasa that was set up to review the recommendations of the Seventh Pay Commission is understood to have finalised its report.

The 7th Pay Commission had earlier proposed the rate of House Rent Allowance (HRA) at 24 percent, 16 percent and 8 percent of the Basic Pay for Class X, Y and Z cities respectively.

The Commission had also recommended that the rate of HRA will be revised to 27 percent, 18 percent and 9 percent when DA crosses 50 percent, and further revised to 30 percent, 20 percent and 10 percent when DA crosses 100 percent.

The existing rates of HRA for Class X, Y and Z cities and towns are 30 percent, 20 percent and 10 percent of Basic pay (pay in the pay band plus grade pay).

Population of City			DA above
	Present	Proposed	50%	100%
Above 50 lakh (Class X)	30%	24%	27%	30%
5 lakh to 50 lakh (Class Y)	20%	16%	18%	20%
Below 5 lakh (Class Z)	10%	8%	9%	10%

Assumingly, if the Committee accepts the bare recommendations of A K Mathur-led 7th Pay Commission then the HRA component of central government employees will increase ranging between 106 percent and 122 percent.

Take, for instance, a central government employee at the very bottom of the pay scale, where the basic pay (pay of pay band + grade pay) is now Rs 7,000, would currently be entitled to an HRA of Rs 2,100 in a Class X city. As per 7th Pay Commission, the new entry level pay at this level is Rs 18,000 per month against which the new HRA for a Class X city would be Rs 4,320 per month, that is 106 percent more than the existing level.

Similarly, at the highest level of the pay scale, the Cabinet Secretary and officers of the same rank have a basic pay of Rs 90,000, which means they are entitled to current HRA of Rs 27,000 in Class X towns. After the revised pay scale, the new basic pay is Rs 2.5 lakh, for which the HRA would be Rs 60,000, meaning a hike of 122 percent.

Existing Basic Pay (6th CPC)	HRA (6th CPC)			Proposed Entry Pay as per 7th CPC	Proposed HRA as per 7th CPC
	Class X	Class  Y	Class Z		Class X	Class Y	Class Z
7000	2100	1400	700	18000	4320	2880	1440
13500	4050	2700	1350	35400	8496	5664	2832
21000	6300	4200	2100	56100	13464	8976	4488
46100	13830	9220	4610	118500	28440	18960	9480
90000	27000	18000	9000	250000	60000	40000	20000

As far as Transport Allowance (TA) is concerned, Pay Commission had proposed no increase.

7th Pay Commission Allowance: ‘Bureaucratic cause for delay, political intervention required’

7th Pay Commission Allowance News: ‘Bureaucratic cause for delay, political intervention required’

New Delhi, April 25: Almost 10 months have been passed and the ‘Committee on Allowance’ is yet to submit its report on minimum wages and higher allowance under the 7th Pay Commission to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. A large number of Central Government employees have been eagerly waiting for the higher allowances and are also upset as there is no news on the minimum wage hike. The National Joint Council of Action (NJCA), which is leading the negotiation on behalf of central government employees, believe that the bureaucratic clutches has become one of the biggest reason for the delay in fulfilment of the demands and believe that political intervention is required.

The National Joint Council of Action (NJCA) chief Shiv Gopal Mishra while talking to India.com said, that a vast majority of central government employees are upset with the Ashok Lavasa Committee who had not yet submitted its final report to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley. “Once the report is submitted to Finance Minister Arun Jaitley then only any action can be taken by the government. The government can’t is blamed for the delay,” Shiv Gopal Mishra said while talking to India.com.

When asked whether ministers are to be blamed for the non-fulfillment of the demands, Shiv Gopal Mishra said to India.com, “We are not blaming the ministers for the delay in fulfilment of our demands. Finance Minister Arun Jaitley could only approve our report if the bureaucrats submit it on time. The delay is causing frustration among the employees. How long should they wait? We are persuading the ministers to intervene. We have already met Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu, we were not able to meet Mr Arun Jaitley due to the Budget Session and if required we will also meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi as well”. 

Last week, the NJCA convenor was quoted by a news organisation where he said, “We believe in Prime Minister Narendra Modi he is our last hope”. In the video, Shiv Gopal Mishra also claimed that a large number of central government employees have hopes with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that he will not take any confrontation with the government employees. “To maintain a good industrial relation in the country, PM Modi will find a good negotiative settlement for us,” Mishra reportedly said.

Meanwhile, some reports suggest that the Ashok Lavasa committee examining 7th Pay Commission recommendations on allowances has reached the final stage of preparing its report, which will be submitted to the government soon, a top union official was quoted by NDTV. Around 43 lakh central government employees have been eagerly waiting for the higher allowance.
