8th Pay Commission में Salary Hike तो है ही, लेकिन Allowances - खासकर HRA - में भी बड़ा बदलाव आने वाला है। Metro Cities में HRA 27% से 40% होने पर In-Hand Pay और भी ज़्यादा बढ़ जाएगी।
TL;DR
- Metro HRA: 27% → 40% (Proposed)
- Y City HRA: 18% → 35% (Proposed)
- Z City HRA: 9% → 30% (Proposed)
- HRA Base: New (Higher) Basic Pay पर Calculate होगी

HRA की Actual Amount कितनी बढ़ेगी?
Double Impact: Higher Basic Pay + Higher HRA %
Example - Metro City में Level 6 Employee:
| Scenario | Basic Pay | HRA % | HRA Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7th CPC Current | ₹35,400 | 27% | ₹9,558 |
| 8th CPC (FF 2.57, 40%) | ₹90,978 | 40% | ₹36,391 |
| 8th CPC (FF 2.86, 40%) | ₹1,01,244 | 40% | ₹40,498 |
HRA में Increase: ₹9,558 → ₹36,391 = ₹26,833 की Monthly वृद्धि (Metro)
Level-wise HRA Amount (FF 2.57, Metro 40%)
| Level | New Basic | Metro HRA (40%) | Y City HRA (35%) | Z City HRA (30%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | ₹46,260 | ₹18,504 | ₹16,191 | ₹13,878 |
| Level 4 | ₹65,535 | ₹26,214 | ₹22,937 | ₹19,661 |
| Level 6 | ₹90,978 | ₹36,391 | ₹31,842 | ₹27,293 |
| Level 7 | ₹1,15,393 | ₹46,157 | ₹40,388 | ₹34,618 |
| Level 10 | ₹1,44,177 | ₹57,671 | ₹50,462 | ₹43,253 |
| Level 12 | ₹2,02,516 | ₹81,006 | ₹70,881 | ₹60,755 |
Travel Allowance (TA)
TA भी 8th CPC में Revise होगा, लेकिन Final Figures अभी Pending हैं।
Current TA (7th CPC):
| Level | TA per Month |
|---|---|
| Level 1-2 | ₹1,350 + DA |
| Level 3-8 | ₹3,600 + DA |
| Level 9+ | ₹7,200 + DA |
Expected: TA भी Fitment Factor जितना नहीं बढ़ेगा, लेकिन Reasonable Revision होगा।
Children Education Allowance (CEA)
Current CEA: ₹2,250/month per child (Max 2 Children)
Expected Revision: ₹3,500-₹5,000/month per child
Medical Allowance
CGHS (Central Government Health Scheme) Subscribers के लिए Medical Benefits।
Non-CGHS Areas में Fixed Medical Allowance:
- Current: ₹500/month
- Expected: ₹1,000-₹1,500/month
Transport Allowance (TPTA)
Current (Metro Cities):
- Level 9+: ₹7,200/month + DA
- Level 3-8: ₹3,600/month + DA
Expected: Similar Percentage Revision
Special Duty Allowance और North-East India
Employees Posted in Special Duty Areas (North-East, J&K, Andaman) को मिलने वाले Special Duty Allowance भी Revise होंगे।
Government Accommodation vs HRA
अगर Government Quarters Allotted हैं तो HRA नहीं मिलती - License Fee कटती है।
8th CPC में: License Fee भी Revised होगी, लेकिन यह HRA Increase से कम रहेगी।
Total Salary Impact - HRA Including
Level 6, Metro City:
| Component | 7th CPC (Now) | 8th CPC (FF 2.57) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Pay | ₹35,400 | ₹90,978 |
| DA (60% / 0%) | ₹21,240 | ₹0 |
| HRA | ₹9,558 | ₹36,391 |
| TA | ₹3,600 | ~₹5,000 |
| Gross | ~₹69,798 | ~₹1,32,369 |
Effective Increase: ~₹62,571/month (~89% Gross Increase)
NC-JCM की HRA Demands - क्यों?
NC-JCM ने 40% HRA इसलिए माँगा क्योंकि:
- Metro Cities में किराया 10 साल में 50%-80% बढ़ चुका है
- ₹9,558 HRA से Metro City में ढंग का मकान किराये पर नहीं मिलता
- New Basic का 40% यानी Metro Level 6 पर ₹36,391 - यह Realistic Rent के करीब है
Conclusion
8th Pay Commission में HRA Revision से Total In-Hand Pay में बड़ा उछाल आएगा। Metro City में रहने वाले Employees को Double Benefit मिलेगा - Higher Basic + Higher HRA %।
Key Expectations:
- Metro HRA: 27% → 40%
- Y City HRA: 18% → 35%
- Z City HRA: 9% → 30%
