* In case the actual amount of HRA as per prescribed rate is less than the actual amount of HRA drawn as on 25.11.2008 in case of a particular employee, the difference would be allowed to be drawn by the employee as "Personal Allowance" until the difference is eliminated in course of time subject to the
condition that the difference will be subsumed within the overall limit prescribed for perquisites and allowances prescribed under the DPE guidelines.
(vide Corporate HR Circular Nos. 005, 006, 007/IRX/2010 dated 06.02.10)
1.2 House rent allowance as above is admissible to all employees, without reference to the quantum of rent paid and without requiring them to produce any rent receipt.
2 General
2.1 Where both husband and wife are employees of the Company and posted at the same station, HRA is admissible to both of them as per their individual entitlement subject to the
prescribed limit. However, HRA is not admissible to both, if even one of them has been allowed Company owned / leased accommodation.
2.2 HRA will not be admissible in the following situations:
If the employee is staying in an accommodation including a leased accommodation allotted to his or her spouse or parent by the Company / Central/State Government / PSU / Semi- Government Organisation / Autonomous Body / Nationalised Bank / LIC etc
If the employee is staying in the Company's Guest House or has been allotted “Transitory Accommodation” at the place of posting either on single occupancy terms or on shared basis. If the employee is occupying Company / Government
accommodation unauthorisedly at the same station or at another station.
If the employee who continues to occupy Company / Government accommodation unauthorisedly i.e. after the allotment of accommodation has been cancelled in their names by the appropriate authority and the employees concerned have been directed to vacate the accommodation allotted to them.
2.3 Payment of HRA shall be made subject to the employee furnishing a certificate as at Annexure III below:
2.4 The employees will be entitled to be paid house rent allowance during leave at the same rates at which they were drawing these allowances before they proceeded on leave. For this purpose leave means total leave of all kinds not exceeding 120 days or the first 120 days of the leave period where the leave exceeds 120 days, but does not include leave preparatory to retirement, refused leave or terminal leave, whether running concurrently with the notice period or not. When holidays are combined with leave, the entire period of holidays and leave should be taken as one spell of leave. However, in the case of Maternity leave which is on full pay for a period of 180 days from the date of its commencement in case of female employees with less than two surviving children, the limit is 180 days, subject to production of Medical Certificate from the Authorised Medical Attendant (AMA).
The limit of 120 days - excepting for female employees on Maternity Leave where the limit is 180 days - shall be extended to eight months for the purpose of grant of these allowances in the case of employees suffering from
tuberculosis; Cancer or other ailments provided the leave is supported by a medical certificate. It is immaterial whether the leave is on medical certificate from the very commencement or is in continuation of other leave. The question
whether HRA may be paid to an employee suffering from tuberculosis, cancer or other ailments during leave on medical certificate beyond eight months will be decided on merits by the Management.
2.5 Any clarification on payment of HRA, not covered in the above Rules, will be referred to Corporate HR for final decision.
