If you are also an employee, then it is very important for you to know this news. Actually, a new update is coming out from the government for the central employees. Under which it is being said that the employees will not get another allowance.
If you are also a government employee, then this news is very useful for you. Because the government has cut the house rent allowance of some employees. Also, citing the rules, it has clearly refused to give HRA to such employees.
Let me tell you that house rent allowance is an important part of the salary. Not only this, tax exemption is also given on HRA. After the implementation of the new rules, lakhs of employees of the country will not be able to get the benefit of house rent allowance.
These employees will come under the ambit-
Actually, the Finance Ministry has made important changes in the rules of house rent allowance before the budget session. In which the Ministry has said that if any central employee has a government accommodation, a house allotted by the Municipal Corporation, Port Trust, Nationalized Bank, LIC etc. has given the house.
All such employees are not entitled to get House Rent Allowance. Therefore, HRA will be stopped to these employees with immediate effect. Not only this if both husband and wife are in government jobs. In such a situation, if any one has got a government accommodation, then the house rent allowance of both will be stopped.
What is HRA-
Actually, till now every person doing a government job is given house rent allowance. This is a significant part of the salary.
House Rent Allowance is the cost paid by the employer to the employee for the rent of the house. You don’t get the benefit of living in your own house. Especially the salaried employees are given this benefit. But now the government has made some special changes in HRA.
This is the calculation of HRA-
Let us tell you that the government divides the salary of any government employee into three parts. There are lakhs of employees in the country who are taking HRA even while living in government accommodation.
Due to which the government gets a lot of loss. Taking the matter seriously, the government has now asked to identify such employees. Also, any employee who is living in a house without rent. Orders have been given to use scissors on the house rent allowance of all such employees.
