7th CPC Transport Allowance Rate Chart 2025
Many people often confuse Transport Allowance with Travelling Allowance (TA). However, the two are different from each other. Travelling Allowance is paid to employees when they are required to travel for official work, such as attending a conference or a meeting in a different city. On the other hand, Transport Allowance is paid to employees as a part of their regular salary package to cover their daily commute to the workplace. While Travelling Allowance is reimbursed based on actual expenses incurred, Transport Allowance is a fixed amount paid monthly or annually.

How to calculate Transport Allowance in basic salary?
The method for calculating the Transport Allowance based on Basic Salary, as per the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission, has been implemented starting from July 1, 2017. The formula used for the monthly calculation of the Transport Allowance is as follows: A denotes the rate of Transport Allowance, while D signifies the percentage of the existing Dearness Allowance.
Transport Allowance = A + [(A x D)/100]
To determine the Transport Allowance, the following formula can be applied: [(Dearness Allowance x Rate of Transport Allowance)/100] + Rate of Transport Allowance. For example, if an employee is classified in pay level 6 and receives a basic salary of Rs. 49,000 while employed in a Metro area, their monthly Transport Allowance would amount to Rs. 4212. This figure is calculated by adding 3600 to the result of multiplying 3600 by 17 and then dividing by 100.
Transport Allowance Enhanced to Pay Matrix Level 1 and Level 2
As per the directive released by the Department of Expenditure on August 2, 2017, employees earning Rs. 24,200 or more in Pay Matrix Level 1 and Level 2 are entitled to receive a Transport Allowance of Rs. 3,600 along with Dearness Allowance each month for metropolitan areas, and Rs. 1,800 plus Dearness Allowance per month for all other locations.

The current percentage of Dearness allowance is also applicable to the Transport allowance. In addition to the Transport allowance amount, the specific percentage of Dearness allowance will be determined based on the rate of TA and subsequently added to the Transport Allowance. Below is a straightforward formula provided for a clearer understanding of the calculation:
Amount of Transport Allowance = TA + [(DA% x TA)/100]
