8th Pay Commission salary hike
Employee bodies have made a strong case for raising house rent allowance (HRA) percentages from the current rates of 30% (X cities), 20% (Y cities), and 10% (Z cities) in nearly all of 8th CPC meetings and memorandum submissions. However, if HRA rates stay the same in the 8th Pay Commission and the commission chooses a fitment factor of 2.0, 2.1, 2.28, or 2.57, how much HRA may rise for Level 11-13 employees?

8th Pay Commission: What is HRA for central government employees?
House Rent Allowance (HRA) is a salary component paid to central government employees to cover rental housing costs. For these employees, HRA is based on city classification (X, Y, Z) and is paid at 30% (X cities), 20% (Y cities), and 10% (Z cities) of their basic pay.
A significant portion of a central government employee's pay comes from the HRA. Since the HRA is expressed as a percentage of the basic income, it will rise in tandem when the 8th Pay Commission revises the basic pay of employees.

Why the fitment factor is a key player in the 8th Pay Commission HRA revision
Since the HRA is given on the basis of the basic pay of an employee, a high revised basic pay in the 8th Pay Commission means a high HRA amount.
For example, a Level 11 employee with a Rs 67,700 basic pay gets Rs 20,310 (30% of basic pay) as HRA if they reside in an X category city like Delhi. If the 8th Pay Commission decides on a 2.0 fitment factor and the HRA rate remains at 30%, their revised HRA will be Rs 40,620.
Bankbazaar presents calculations of estimated revised HRA of central government employees in conditions when the 8th Pay Commission approves a fitment factor of 2.0, 2.1, 2.28 or 2.57 .
For X, Y and Z categories, Bankbazaar’s HRA ranges are 30%, 20% and 10%, respectively.
