The
Union Cabinet is likely to take a call on the allowance structure of central
government employees soon after Prime Minister Narendra Modi returns from his
four-nation foreign visit. This could come to pass on June 7, media
reports suggest.
The
recommendations of Committee on Allowances, led by Finance Secretary Shri Ashok
Lavasa, were to be taken up in a meeting of the Empowered Committee
of Secretaries (E-CoS) scheduled yesterday (June 1).
Yesterday's
meeting focused on House Rent Allowance (HRA) rates. The 7th Central Pay
Commission had brought down the HRA to 24 per cent, 16 per cent and 8 per cent
for Class X, Y and Z cities respectively, which had the central government
employees miffed.
