Dearness Allowance (DA) is revised every 6 months. Now the next dearness allowance will increase on the CPI-IW data from January to June 2023. Experts are assuming that DA will increase in the future also in the head of 4% only. In such a situation, there can be a new announcement regarding HRA. House rent allowance of central employees can also be increased.

House Rent Allowance (HRA) will now increase

House rent allowance of central employees can also increase soon. This will happen because the government has already issued a notification for this. By the end of the financial year 2023-24, the HRA of the employees will also increase. However, this will happen only when the dearness allowance reaches 50%. Experts believe that the way dearness allowance has increased in the last two times. Looking at it, it seems that HRA revision will happen in March next year. Because, dearness allowance has reached 42%. If there is a jump of 4-4% for the next two times, then the dearness allowance will be 50%. When this happens, the revision of HRA will happen automatically.

Why is the HRA date confirmed?

Along with DA Hike, there is a jump in other allowances as well. The most important and important of these is the house rent allowance. In the year 2021, after July, the HRA was revised when the dearness allowance crossed 25%. In July 2021, the government had increased Dearness Allowance to 28 percent. The existing rates of HRA are 27%, 18% and 9%. The next revision is to be at 50%. Looking at the current situation, it is clear that there may be a 4% increase in dearness allowance in future as well. In this situation, HRA will be revised if DA is increased twice.

Employees will get tremendous benefits

According to DoPT, the revision in House Rent Allowance (HRA) for central employees (Kendriye Karamchari) is done on the basis of Dearness Allowance (DA). It is certain that by next year there will be a change in dearness allowance twice. Means after increasing in July 2023, DA will increase once more, which will be revised in March next year. In such a situation, there is every possibility of HRA crossing 50%. If this is to be believed, then the HRA will increase in the beginning of the year 2024 itself.
