My Comment on a news article titled "Seventh Pay Commission notified: Minimum HRA fixed for different city categories" published in the economictimes.com Dated 07/07/2017.
The HRA suggested may not meet at least 50% of the actual rent being paid by the employees. So, it is a gross injustice.
The minimum HRA limit fixed by the government for Metro, A Class and B class cities are respectively Rs.5,400, Rs.3,600 and Rs.2,400 per month whereas the actual minimum rent incurred by the employees can be at least Rs.10,000 in metro cities and Rs.5,000 or more in cities. So, it amounts to roughly 50% only that they will be getting as HRA.
