ADDITIONAL HRA IN LIEU OF RENT FREE ACCOMMODATION

The Government has been declaring certain posts in several departments as eligible for rent free accommodation. This is because their presence is essential for the discharge of duties not only during normal office hours but also beyond those hours. At times the supervisory authorities are required to stay in the hospitals, projects, institutions etc., throughout the day and night. But Government may not be in a position to provide accommodation on the premises or in the vicinity of the institution. Therefore, the Government officials are required to stay in a private accommodation near their place of duty. Government had declared various categories of employees who are entitled for rent free accommodation from time to time. If rent free accommodation is not provided, Government have been allowing Additional HRA to meet the additional cost.
