Pune: HRA, TA and Estimated 8th Pay Commission Salary
Pune, Maharashtra, is an X-class place for central government House Rent Allowance: 30% of basic pay today. The Department of Expenditure's list (OM of 21 July 2015, Census 2011) names "Pune (UA)" as X class.
Pune is one of the 19 cities with the higher Transport Allowance: ₹1,350 a month plus DA for Levels 1 and 2 (₹3,600 if basic pay is ₹24,200 or more), ₹3,600 for Levels 3 to 8 and ₹7,200 for Levels 9 and above.
HRA is paid at Pune's rate across its Census urban agglomeration, including Pimpri-Chinchwad, Khadki (Kirkee), Dehu Road (DoE HRA compendium of 30 December 2022, para 3.4(iv)). The higher transport allowance list names "Pune (UA)", which we read as covering the same area; confirm with your office's DDO.
HRA and transport allowance depend on where your office is, not where you live.
CGHS is available in Pune (9 allopathic wellness centres). Cover depends on living within a centre's notified area; serving employees pay the CGHS contribution for their level. Includes Akurdi (Pimpri-Chinchwad) and Khadakwasla.
