Dear Sir/Madam,
Payment of House Rent Allowance (HRA) and City Compensatory Allowance (CCA) to employees per Census 2011
Payment of HRA and CCA to bank employees, who are parties to the Bipartite Settlement, is made on the basis of classification of areas depending upon the population of a place. For the purpose of payment of HRA and CCA latest available official figures of the All India Census are taken into account. The official figures as per the All India Census 2011 has since been published by the Registrar General and Census Commissioner, India.
2.In terms of the official Census 2011 figures, places have been upgraded from a lower area to a higher area. A detailed list of such places is enclosed marked Annexure I. In view of the fact that HRA of both Officers and Workmen and CCA for officers in banks are paid on the basis of classification of areas according to population, employees working in branches situated in places which are upgraded per Census 2011 are eligible to be paid higher rate of HRA and/or higher/lower CCA. This shall be effective from 1st March 2011. Banks, in view of the above, may take necessary steps to recalculate HRA/CCA in places which are upgraded and make payment of arrears, wherever applicable.
