One of the NJCA leader, On Condition of Anonymity, told that the
committee constituted to examine the allowance has finalized its reports
and submitted it to the Government on 22nd February 2017.
On asking whether the NJCA knew the details of the committee report, he
said that they were not provided with the committee report. But the
committee has informed them that their demand on allowance would be
considered favorably.
Hence it is expected the HRA will be retained in old rates (Sixth CPC
rates) from the beginning itself and will be paid in 7th CPC Pay Scale
when revised allowances come into effect. However, the news of revised
allowances would be implemented with effect from 1.4.2017 is not
reliable. NJCA will not accept this and clearly said that it should be
implemented with effect from 1.1.2016 retrospectively.
X cities- 30%
Y cities- 20%
Z cities- 10%
Transport Allowance may be split into two elements as CCA and TA as it
was paid in fifth CPC. The Rates will be delinked from DA and will Fixed
in slab rates.
The Government will announce its decision over the committee report
after the last phase of state elections ie after 8th March 2017.
