Respected sir
I was appointed in 2021 so shall I get HRA
Why not are you got government accommodation? Sue but if you’re appointed in the month of July 2021 onwards you will get it..
if an employee posted in rural area and his services are placed in urban area , is he eligible for urban or rural HRA?
Is a person first posting in North east India eligible for Additional HRA Benefits?
can your provide the office memorandum or circular when both the husband and wife are working in Central government employee, MHA, India and when not provided with the government accommodation they will be eligible for HRA for a single one or they both will be getting full HRA while staying on rent.
O.M. dated 8-11-1988 below para 5(e) & under F.R. & S.R. Normal amount of HRA is admissible as per the entitlement subject to fulfillment of other conditions for drawal of HRA. It is in the Swamy ‘s HAND BOOK in para : Drawal of HRA when both husband and wife are Government servants and are living in hired/owned accommodation.
If an employee transferred to another city can he claim HRA of the previous place of posting for three months
HRA cannot be claimed. It will be given as per your residing in place of duty & the city range if eligible for that employee.
Is HRA payable to Govt. Employee during training in India if Govt. accommodation is provided to him during training?
No.
My employer has not revised HRA, saying that specific order has not been issued by Government. Whether any of you received enhanced HRA after enhanced DA of 28%?
Yes, the Department of Expenditure will issue specific orders on this subject. The revision of HRA rates will be effect from 1.7.2021. Wait Mr.Srinivas, you will get the higher rate of HRA with arrears.
If a class 1 employee is transferred from one place to another but his accommodation is in retention at old station so he is elligible for HRA at new station or not.
If the availing accommodation payment of HRA question does not arise.
