How to calculate HRA in salary?

Employers, whether in the public or private sector, typically allocate a portion of an employee’s basic salary toward housing rent expenses. The percentage of this allocation is determined based on the classification of the city or town the employee is based in. The actual amount of housing rent allowance (HRA) an employee receives is calculated based on their basic salary.
Assuming an employee receives a basic salary of Rs. 49000, the calculation for their House Rent Allowance (HRA) would be as follows: 27% of their basic salary is equivalent to Rs. 13230, 18% is equivalent to Rs. 8820, and 9% is equivalent to Rs. 4410.

  51. The govt employees are worried about the HRA increase only instead of increment in salary. Its because they can grab more money from the tenents by renting the flat allotted to them.

    In Antophill CGS Qtrs there are many brokers residing and renting flats, Because of 7th pay commission HRA increased. the tenants are forced to pay high rent

    5000 for single room
    12000 – 1 RK
    15000 – 1 BHK
    20000 – 2 BHK

    HRA SHOULD be given for only pensioners and labour category. When good salary is paid, why HRA or CEF is given?

    Most of the Govt Employee have 1 – 2 flats on their name. why no action is taken on them? where did they get the property from?

    Strict action should be taken in this matter

  52. HRA should be fixed between 3,000 to 12,000 respectively 12%-16% & 20%.

  64. If HRA is more many employees will be forced to leave govt built quarters as HRA rate is more in 7th pay commission. Most of the employees prefer govt quarters as safe and secured place as they would be coming from different parts of the country. Employees who have no own house will be forced to leave this comfortable living and stay in rented accommodation as gap between rents and HRA is huge.

  65. Recommendation by7th cpc are really frustrating…in z class cities u cannot find home below Rs 5000. If someone is getting 5000 basic then also he has to pay 1000 from his pocket.So i feel government people can not maintain a good living standard…ITS FRUSTRATING …mainly for lower income group who are hoping fo better living standard.

  66. HRA should not given to those who lives with their son, husband, wife etc. ‘s house. It should enquired by inquary comission. Because family members does n’t take rent from each other. It happened that father lives with son(owner of house). Take HRA from govnt. This is wrong.

  68. Given the increase in basic, the income tax implecations will be grave. For z class cities, HRA is 8%, whereas 10% will be deducted from rent receipt. Thus, no rent receipt exemption is allowed for z class cities. For other class of cities also, there is practically no exemption as it is very difficult to obtain PAN of house owner. As a result, the income tax exemption on the rent paid, although being an actual expense, will not be available for those living in rented accommodation. This is in stark contrast with those living in government accommodation, who, while enjoying privileged accommodation, will also enjoy full tax exemption.
    Income tax exemption should be based on actual expense basis, as vouchers are produced as proof of expense.

  69. In HRA Z classification need to be increased a little bit, as, the house rent has been increased to minimum of Rs. 5000 on rent in Z classification town.
    So, it is suggested to increase HRA to 15% from 10% for Z classification.

    MACP scheme may be extended to 4 times for those who have completed 35 years of service.

  70. I just want to tell govt. that provide suitable accommodation to all employee we would not required HRA. But govt can’t so who the govt is here to cut HRA. Govt seen also how out side area is costly poor and low grade employee can’t serve. Actual factor is that there is no problems for babus because of there pocket is always full with mota rakam and so where bjp is working for higher salaried not poor and low salaried personnel and they are working for bjp.

  75. Sir,
    There used to 2 slabs of DA till 3rd pay commission in which the low paid employees used to get higher rate of DA and high paid officers used to get lower rate of DA.This used to keep the total amount to a reasonable level as cost of increase is same for all but it was made equal from 4 th pay commission.This has increased the gap between low and high paid employees.Hence the life for low income employees has worsen.Hence the DA should be reversed to 3rd pay commission pattern.

  76. Reduction of Date of superannuation is not justified as a person who joins government jobs have some planning.most of the youth get married after getting jobs which is approx 30 years.Thereafter his kids are taking birth and take education upto the age of 55 and hardly manage for their marriage in their service life.Further there is no provision of pension in PSU.If person is got retired at early age he will not be survived.

  77. Recommendation of HRA must be rationaled.Please refer example of Greater Noida.Hindon river is demarcation between greater noida and noida.Sectors located one side of Hindon falling in Noida is entitled for HRA @30% and sectors located in greater noida are entitled for 10% HRA. On the ground greater noida have better infrastructure of world class city.Population should not be the criteria for deciding of classification of city.satellite city of metro should be the same class to reduce the burden on the metro.

  79. In case both the spouses are employees of Government/autonomous/semi-autonomous organization and are living in Government accommodation,
    House Rent Allowance should be admissible to the one in whose name Government accommodation has not been allotted.

    At present HRA of both the spouse is cut which is wrong.
    Even in our neighboring countries , House Rent Allowance is admissible to the one in whose name Government accommodation has not been allotted.

    The copy of such orders is available on Internet. For Pakistan , we may refer order No. F.2(1) R.5/2007 dated April 18, 2013 issued by Finance Division, Government of Pakistan.

  80. Sir,

    The retirement age of 60/33 or 58/33 is not feasible for joining Government service at the age of 18 years as prescribed by Central Govt. for Group “‘C”” Posts i.e. 18 – 25 years of age. Who is joined at the age of 18 and so on is to be retired at the age of 51 to 58, which is so young with lot of experiences of assistances and more productive at this age.

    For Group A post the age of joining Central Government services is 21 – 28 years, which will be retired at the age of 54 onwards is also not feasible to the structure of an Government Office to run efficiently and smoothly to any good governance.

    There are already to much shortfall in manpower in the Central Government Offices because of huge retirement and fresh recruitment is already 10-15% against huge retirement due to lengthy procedural formalities and delay of recruitment and joining any Chief of the concerned department and organisation which lapse many posts some time by DoPT.

    The age of 60 years for retirement of Central Government Employee is OK. The things is that the procedure new recruitment should be faster to recruit unemployed people and smooth run of all offices and Government. Work as Contractual basis is a exploitation of human being and still the offices is not running smoothly.

    The present infrastructure and employee with employer need to be corrected and improved but not collapsed the structure which made by out going peoples of the country.

    Creating new infrastructure and huge retirement in single movement and recruit further new employee immediately needs huge amount of funds which is not available at this juncture of time.

    This is my personal view/ perceptions of new scenario and I want to be good governance for long lasting not short governance which may collapse with in few years.

    Regards,

    BM Dimri

  84. Dear Comrades please think twice before writing a word about HRA……all are asking for 10, 20 & 30 % of (Basic+ Grade Pay) ….but in my view it is not justifiable…..because the both elements ( BP+GP) are constant. then once it fixed HRA it is constant for 1st year, and in 2 year it increased 0.30 % so on…….but in reality owners of the rent houses can hike rentals with minimum 5%……….per a year , so kindly explain to JCM leaders to add DA element in BP+GP+DA for new HRA…….. ex: in Dehi a PA rank employ will get 4800 Rupees as HRA…….. in 4800 Rupees he cant get even single room in delhi…………..in Delhi 1 BHK will cost about 10000 rupees in a ordinary locality near to suburbs
