Based on the 7th CPC recommendations, the Ministry of Finance released Office Memorandum No. 2/5/2017-E.II(B) on July 7, 2017, for the implementation of the 7th CPC House Rent Allowance (HRA). The order mentions that HRA rates would be revised to 30%, 20%, and 10% for cities categorized as X, Y, and Z, respectively, when the Dearness Allowance (DA) crosses 50%.
