HRA Hike News If any member of your household works in CPSEs (Central Public Sector Enterprises), then there is good news for them. The government has announced an increase in the HRA (House Rent Allowance) of those employees.
If any member of your household works in CPSEs (Central Public Sector Enterprises) like BSNL (Bhartiya Sanchar Nigam Limited), then there is good news for them. After increasing the dearness allowance of those employees by 10 percent, the government has now announced an increase in HRA (House Rent Allowance). This increase will be applicable to the employees working in Mathura-Vrindavan Municipal Corporation.
Now it is being implemented for CPSEs employees.
This is because the Central Government had upgraded the category of Mathura-Vrindavan Municipal Corporation and now it is being implemented for CPSEs employees. This will include those employees who are getting salary on the basis of Pay Revision of 2007.
Mathura Vrindavan now comes under Y category
Mathura-Vrindavan was earlier in the Z category, which was upgraded to the Y category in 2020. It was said in the government order that on the basis of population figures in the 2011 Census to give HRA to the employees, there has been an increase in the population due to the addition of Mathura Municipal Corporation and Vrindavan Municipal Corporation and formation of Mathura-Vrindavan Municipal Corporation. Therefore, Mathura Vrindavan Municipal Corporation has become eligible for classification as Y category city/town for the purpose of giving HRA to Central Government employees.
Meaning of Y category
According to Shamsul Haque, Under Secretary in the Finance Ministry, the central government has already increased the HRA of central employees working in Mathura-Vrindavan. Now employees other than 7th Pay Commission are being given its benefit. Harishankar Tiwari, former president of AG Office Brotherhood, Allahabad, told Jagran.com that the HRA had changed after the 7th Pay Commission came. There were 3 categories – X, Y and Z. The category of Mathura Vrindavan has been made from Z to Y. This will give double benefit to the CPSEs employees.
