NJCA had meeting on HRA with allowance committee. Report soon A union body of central government employees today met members of the Ashok Lavasa committee over HRA or housing rent allowance related to Seventh Pay Commission. Shiv Gopal Mishra, the convenor of National Joint Council of Action (NJCA), a joint body of unions representing central government employees, said the union body held final round of talks with the panel members on HRA related to Seventh Pay Commission. The panel on allowance related to HRA will soon finalise its recommendations to the government, the union leader said.

The panel headed by Finance Secretary Ashok Lavasa is reviewing Seventh Pay Commission allowances. The government had in June accepted the recommendation of Justice AK Mathur-headed Seventh Pay Commission in respect of the hike in basic pay and pension but its suggestions relating to allowances were referred to the committee. The Seventh Pay Commission had examined a total of 196 existing allowances and, by way of rationalisation, recommended abolition of 51 allowances and subsuming of 37 allowances.

The committee on allowances was initially given a time of four months to submit its report to the finance minister. Till a final decision is taken, all existing allowances are being paid at the Sixth Pay Commission rates.
