7th CPC Training Allowance – DoPT Order dt.13.9.2018
Instructional Allowance and Training Allowance
7th CPC Training Allowance
Demands Received
There is a strong demand from Defence forces to extend Training Allowance to Defence personnel in lieu of Instructional Allowance. Indian Coast Guard has also represented on similar lines.
Analysis and Recommendations
The Commission recognizes the need for an appropriate incentive to attract talented individuals from the field to academic institutions for imparting quality training. At the same time, this enticement should not be so lucrative that employees do not want to go back to the field.
The demand for Defence forces for parity regarding this allowance has merit. Accordingly, it is recommended that Instructional Allowance should be abolished and Training Allowance should be extended to personnel of Defence forces, CAPFs, Indian Coast Guard, RPF and Police forces of Union Territories also. In consonance with our general approach to rationalizing the percentage based allowances by a factor of 0.8, the rates of Training Allowance should be revised as follows:
- In the National/Central Training Academies and Institutes for Group `A’ officers: 24% of Basic Pay
- In other Training Establishments: 12% of Basic Pay
Training Allowance is a means to attract talented individuals from the field to impart knowledge and share their experiences with others. Hence, it will be admissible only to the employees who join the training establishments for a specified period of time and are then likely to go back. It will not be admissible to those employees who are directly recruited by such training establishments for imparting training.
The allowance will be payable to an eligible employee for a maximum period of five years only during the entire career, for which period the Deputation (Duty) Allowance will not be granted. Beyond five years, Training Allowance will not be granted, but Deputation (Duty) Allowance will be admissible.
Officers JCOs/ORs deployed on administrative/ logistic duties in these Training institutes will not be entitled to “Training Allowance”. [View order]

- Officers: Rs. 2700 pm
- JCOs and equivalent: Rs. 1500 pm
- NCOs and equivalent: Rs. 900 pm
List of All 196 Allowances Recommended by 7th Pay Commission
