Sir,
I am directed to refer to Finance Department letter No.10/46/2004-2FICW, dated 29th July, 2009 on the above subject and to say that earlier the classification of Cities/Towns was based on the population on the basis of Census 2001. The State Government has reconsidered the matter of classification of cities/Towns for grant of House Rent Allowance admissible to the eligible employees of Haryana Government and now it has been decided to reclassify the cities/Towns as per population on the basis of Census 2011. Therefore, eligible employees of the Haryana Government will be entitled to get the House Rent Allowance in the following manner with immediate effect:
|
Revised criteria for classification of cities and towns based on population on the basis of Census 2011 |
Revised classification of Cities/Towns |
Rates of HRA as % of pay in the Pay Band + Grade Pay + NPA |
|
50 lakhs and above |
X |
30 |
|
5 Lakhs to 50 Lakhs |
Y |
20 |
|
Below 5 Lakhs |
