The 8th Pay Commission’s recommendations could impact the house rent allowance (HRA) for Level 5 central government employees if the panel endorses a 40% HRA rate paired with a 2.1 fitment factor.
Under these proposed parameters, the monthly HRA rise for Level 5 staff could be ₹15,768.
Final figures will depend on the commission’s actual recommendations.
Key points under the proposed framework
- Proposed HRA rate: 40%
- Proposed fitment factor: 2.1
- Estimated monthly HRA gain for Level 5: ₹15,768
