7th Pay Commission Transport Allowance
Transport Allowance
8.15.44 Transport Allowance (TPTA) is granted to cover the expenditure involved in commuting between place of residence and place of duty. The existing rates are as under:
| Employees Drawing | A1/A Class City(₹ pm) | Other Places
(₹ pm) |
| GP 5400 and above | 3200 + DA | 1600 + DA |
| GP 4200 to GP 4800 and other employees drawingGP<4200 but pay in the pay band equivalent to ₹7440
and above |
1600 + DA | 800 + DA |
| GP<4200 and pay in the pay band below ₹7440 | 600 + DA | 300 + DA |
8.15.45 Moreover, officers drawing GP 10000 and higher, who are entitled to the use of official car, have the option to avail themselves of the existing facility or to draw the TPTA at the rate
of ₹7,000+DA pm. Differently abled employees are granted this allowance at double the rate, subject to a minimum amount of ₹1,000 plus DA.
8.15.46 Many representations have been received regarding Transport Allowance. Most of them advocate granting the allowance at the same rate to all employees, irrespective of their place of posting, on the grounds that fuel prices affect everybody equally.
Analysis and Recommendations
8.15.47 The Commission notes that TPTA is fully DA-indexed.
8.15.48 The first issue to be considered is whether the rate of Transport Allowance should be the same for all places. There are arguments both for and against this view.
8.15.49 Proponents of the idea argue that petrol prices are almost same everywhere. Moreover, public transport system is better developed in many of the A1/A Class cities, thereby reducing the cost of commuting significantly. The argument, therefore, is that A1/A category places do not need to have a higher rate.
8.15.50 Opponents point out that the categorization of A1/A has been abolished for other purposes (like HRA, CCA) but retained for Transport Allowance. Incidentally, only 13 cities fall under this categorization: six in A1, viz., Hyderabad, Delhi, Bengaluru, Greater Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and seven in A, viz., Ahmedabad, Surat, Nagpur, Pune, Jaipur, Lucknow and Kanpur. Recently, six more cities, viz., Patna, Kochi, Kozhikode, Indore, Coimbatore and Ghaziabad have been added to A1/A categories, making it nineteen in all. (Incidentally, vide a recent notification No. 21(2)/2015-E.II(B) dated 06.08.2015, the use of term “A1/A” has been dropped for these nineteen cities. Hence, the Commission will refer to these nineteen cities as “Higher TPTA cities.”). In all these places the commuting distances are far more than in other cities. Moreover, the public transport system is not as developed as it should be in all these places. Therefore, it is argued, the distinction should remain.
8.15.51 After considering both the viewpoints, the Commission is of the view that by and large the commuting distances and associated difficulties involved in Higher TPTA cities are much more compared to other places. Hence, the argument that the distinction should stay is a valid one.
8.15.52 The second issue is whether Transport Allowance should be the same for all personnel posted at the same place. Here the Commission feels that a question of status of employee is involved and hence, complete parity is not possible.
8.15.53 Regarding the optimal rate of Transport Allowance, the Commission notes that the allowance is already fully DA indexed. Therefore, since DA has already reached 119 percent and is likely to rise further before the implementation of our report, the following rates of Transport Allowance are recommended:
| Pay Level | Higher TPTA Cities(₹ pm) | Other Places(₹ pm) |
| 9and above | 7200+DA | 3600+DA |
| 3 to 8 | 3600+DA | 1800+DA |
| 1 and 2 | 1350+DA | 900+DA |
8.15.54 Officers in Pay Level 14 and higher, who are entitled to the use of official car, will ave the option to avail themselves of the existing facility or to draw the TPTA at the rate of ₹15,750+DA pm. Differently abled employees will continue to be paid at double rate, subject to a minimum of ₹2,250 plus DA.

I am joining in TA Agriculture department Ambedkarnagar UP
State govt employee
My basic pay 5200-20200 GP 2400
Please tell me my actual salary in 7th pay commission
OP Saini says
I’m fully agree with comments of Mr Naresh Kumar dated 03/03/16 & already planned to file a petision in Hon’ble court stating that why has been made variation in allownces between an offr & OR while impact of bad climate or hard duty are being beared by ORs more than offrs. I have no objection regarding more pay & facilities which they are entitled rightfully but it is reality that ORs faces more problems during hard duty/bad climate conditions, hence I’m favour for equall allowances. Our Constitute gives us Right to equallation right to each man & we should fight for it.
Naresh Kumar says
Their is difference of 1:12.5 in salary , Then why giving different allowance as everybody survive in same climatic conditions. Already a hiatus made in salaries of Offer and ORs. If it is not sufficient for Officers, then I recommend to cut ORs all allowance and it should be include in Officers so that the drama of commission ends. Keep going with ORs dominating strategy.
Rohit says
Dear All,
i have few question regarding CCA rules and transport allowances.
I was recruited on national project (temporary position) with 8000-275-13500( Pre revised scale). then it was revised to 15600-39100 (5400) as per 6th cpc. I am getting only DA and HRA till date.
I am having few points:
1. is CCA entitled for regular employee? or it is based on pay scale.
2. is there any circular available that mentioned that temporary employee with grade slab will not entitled for CCA?
3. is CCA is depend on local organization where you are working?
Please help me in this regard. share the document if any one have. Thanks in advance.
SANJAY KAPOOR says
It is fixed in each and every pay commission that lower cadre staff will always suffer and will get the lowest benefit. Pay commission always made for officers only. Lower staff will always act like a slave and will do yoke of the officers. No smile will be on the faces of lower staff. In six pay commission only lower staff is facing the loss of grade pay under MACP. is it justified that a LDC of grade pay Rs. 1900/- will get only grade pay of Rs. 2000/- in ten years long service?. The lower staff is for yoke and have no freedom to get any benefits under his service. So there is no option to lower staff for comments as he has lots of problems for him.

my basic plus grade pay is 12160+2800=14960 and I have been promoted to next grade pay i.e.4200/- (PB 2 9300 grade pay 4200) ( I have been promoted CPW HS I to CPW MCM) on 01-01-2016, whether my promotion pay fixation is in sixth cpc or in senenth cpc kindly explain which is benefited for me.
Ramakant Chakraborty says
My basic Pay is Rs. 7640 with G.P Rs.1900 as per 6th CPC and getting Transport Allowance Rs. 3504(1600 slab). But in 7th CPC it is shown that my Transport will decrease to 1350 because I will fall under Pay Level 2 in Matrix Chart as per 7th CPC. So, it is totally injustice.

M. J. DUBEY says
8.15.54. Government may consider to allow higher TA for use of own car subject to the condition that staff car and permanent driver did not exist there.
Considering the volume of physically handicapped employees in the country and low financial impact, Government show its generosity and consider allowing minimum TA of Rs 6000 instead of Rs 2250 PM to such employees. They actually spend more to reach offices and capable of rarely using public transport.

sham Bhagat says
useless pay commission. there is nothing for department candidates who want go for up gradation or promotion by department text.I’m MCA serving as chowkidar in military hospital previous last nine years.but didn’t get any departmental promotion test or trade test like in MES & ordinance. seventh pay commission should be think abt us like employees who got Three degrees but not getting what they deserved moreover just getting less salary.

S Rajasenan says
As per existing rules, employees drawing pay in Pay Band of Rs.7440/- in PB-1 with Grade pay of Rs.1800, 1900 etc, where paid Travelling allowance @ Rs.1600 + DA(Rs,3504/-) at Kochi.
But the seventh pay commission is recommending TA @ of Rs.1350 for level 1& 2.
What about those employees who were drawing Pay in Pay Band greater than 7440/- and TA @ 1600/- + DA.
Rajeev Kumar says
7th cpc is bad for gov… employees.

What was fixesion for gds……
R.G.Mistry says
My PB + GP = 20000 + 4800= 24800. Hence, as per 7th C.P.C. my new basic will be 64100/- . At present, I am not getting H.R.A., since I am staying in Govt. Qrts. Hence, as per 30% of basic rent of my qrt. is works out Rs. 7440/-. Now, if 24% of Basic of 7th c.p.c., i.e. on basic of Rs.64100/- rent of my qrt. will be Rs. 15384/-. Means my rent of qrt. will be rise of Rs.15384 – Rs. 7440 =Rs. 7944/-. Hence, to nullify of the rise of Rs. 7944/-, percentage of H.R.A. should be 14.40%,say 14%, in place of 24%. Since, even market rent of Type -III size private rented house is not more than my present rent of Rs. 7944/- but on the contrary it is less than that. So, if 24% will H.R.A. than persons like me will be constrain to vacat Govt. Qrts. and either they will shift to other private rented house or to shift to their own house even though it will be far away than govt. qrts. Hence, posion of Government Colonies will be in vacate type condition and due to that revenue loss to the Governmet.
suman mehta says
on one side, the seventh pay commission declares that grade pay has been abolished and on the other hand transport allowance is granted on the basis of grade pay.
suman mehta says
What has been done to the section officers drawing grade pay of Rs.4800/-. The mythology of equal rank equal pay is required to be justified in the seventh pay commission.
sekhar lenka says
The calculations from commission side may be correct by theory but in practice not in expected lines take transport allowance no one is remain calm against this commission recommondation.the second one is HRA it should be as it was in 6th prc and the third one, fitment must be slitly reversed after decimal that is 2.57 to 2.75
raj says

Sanjiv kumar says
Sir, I am a LDC, and wants to know that while getting macps, whether we will got next grade of pay (1900 to 2000, and so on) or next grade of our cadre (pay of udc).
Since one LDC already got macps if next grade (2000). Now will he be able to upgrade in the next grade of UDC cadre.

Sir what is about group x pay for defence Personnel? Is it included in basic pay (e.I. bandpay+x group pay +grade pay) for multiplication of factor 2.62 in level 6. Please explain.
arjun says
My current GP is 1900 and TA 1600+DA(1904) = 3504. but as per 7th CPC recommendation the new TA stands at 1350+DA(0)=1350. ₹ 2100 loss pm.. moreover they added 1500 as GIC ये पे कमीशन ना आता तो ज्यादा सही रहता ।
Lots of employees will face the same problem….
S.N.Murthy says
This is ridiculously worst ever pay commission report if we consider the price hike in current trend.
Minimum Basic should have fixed atleast RS.20000 pm instead of 18000.
CGEGIS subscription is too high,it may be 500:750:1200 instead of 1500:2500:5000
Transport Allowance may be fixed 10% of Basic+DA to all employees
kuljeet Singh says
Kindly calculate my salary as per 7th pay commission report
Present salary(B.P.+Grade pay)
= 67300
Grade pay = 8900
Present HRA (in chandigarh) = 20%
Transport allowance = 3200
Soumya says
Transport allowance lesser then current pay. Though all the fare are same.
S NAYAK says
Overhaul its a better pay commissission by 7th CPC committee. At least our basic payment has gone up 18000 to 20000 lavel.this will impact us in every DA declaration,pension and gratuity calculation. If its the UPA or Congress then our basic payment could not reach even 10000 even if its 7 th CPC. Of course they are very cunning in introducing other allowances instead of increasing basic pay which will impact us in every field of calculation. So gentlemen wait and watch coolly instead of reacting.
Raghavendra K v says
Sir 7th pay commision is not much more benefit who lives in urban city the cost of living in the cityes are much more than the index what they had given LDCE employes still have to struggle
ASHWANI SONKHLA says
I think it too much for employees we never satisfied I have my own opinion that we should demand for less & think about those poor part of country who are deprived from basic enmities . We should think about their achhe din. We should support our Govt. & specially PM who is working hard day night. But it is irony that some people are making bad comments of PM regarding foreign trips .Thanks!

Please
Update pension latest calculator as per 7the CPC for pensioners
Kinkar says
My current GP is 1900 and TA 1600+DA(1904) = 3504. but as per 7th CPC recommendation the new TA stands at 1350+DA(0)=1350. Please rectify the anomaly before government notification. A large amount of employee will face the same problem.
Ravi says
This calculator is the best I have found over internet. Rest all are giving higher amounts which is not correct. Thanks and keep up the good work.
S Nagarajan says
Dear Sir
Now I am drawing Basic pay 7930 / with GP 1900 /- total TPT 3200+DA =7000/-(I am disabled) but now recommition of 7th cpc I will draw 2700/- only as per Lavel 2. So now I will loss 4300/-. This is not justice.
Suren K says
I think this hike of 14% is to boost to Businessmen and doesn’t seems appropriate for next 10 years.
we all have to respect the PM decision as a Good Servent
janardhanan says
all area transport cost same then why they are differentiate,city or rural trasport cost same please consider this points.
janardhanan says
next ten years 14% basic pay hike very worst increment
M Krishna Prasad says
Sir,
Pay Calculator as per 7 CPC report is good. The pay fixation fitment formula for all levels is 2.57 only. From level 6 you are multiplying with 2.62. It is wrong. Also requested to provision for double the rate of TA.
rajasinghmurugesan says
Now correct 2.57 multification factor
P.H.Chavan, Office Supdtt. says
My GP 4200/- and Pay 19390/- please my fixation ….
Pawan Kumar Jaryal says
Suppose A employee is drawing Basic Pay above 7440 with Grade pay 1900/- Present time He is drawing Transport Allowance 800+119% DA = 1752/- But New Recommendation of 7th CPC he will draw Transport Allowance Only Rs. 900/- As per Level 2 . Transport Allowance Loss will be Rs. 852/- Only.
