List of Risk and Hardship Matrix Allowances recommended by 7th CPC
An innovative Risk and Hardship Matrix has been proposed. Also, the Commission recommends that each allowance should be put in the public domain as a step towards greater transparency
in governance.
1. Antarctica Allowance
2. Boiler Watch Keeping Allowance
3. COBRA Allowance
4. Compensatory (Construction or Survey) Allowance
5. Cooking Allowance
6. Flying Allowance
7. Free Fall Jump Instructor Allowance
8. Health and Malaria Allowance
9. Hospital Patient Care Allowance/Patient Care Allowance
10. MARCOS and Chariot Allowance
11. Para Allowances
12. Para Jump Instructor Allowance
13. Project Allowance
14. Sea Going Allowance
15. Siachen Allowance
16. Special Forces Allowance
17. Special LC Gate Allowance
18. Submarine Allowance
19. Submarine Duty Allowance
20. Submarine Technical Allowance
21. Test Pilot and Flight Test Engineer Allowance
Allowances not covered by the Risk and Hardship Matrix above, but having a linkage with it:
a. Diving Allowance, Dip Money and Attendant Allowance will continued to be paid as hitherto. The rates of these allowances should be increased by 50 percent. The rate will further rise by 25 percent each time DA crosses 50 percent.
b. Detachment Allowance and Ration Money Allowance, both not in the nature of RHA, are mentioned here because there is a “linkage” between these allowances and risk/hardship allowances like CI Ops Allowance, etc. as far as CAPFs are concerned. The government has also referred this linkage to the Commission for consideration. The views of the Commission on this issue have been brought out under the discussion of Detachment Allowance, under Allowances Related to Travel.
c. LWE Risk Allowance is not a separate allowance, but paid as CI Ops Allowance in Field, Modified or Peace Areas. Hence, a separate nomenclature for LWE Risk Allowance is not required.
