Administration Manual - B.E.S.T. Undertaking.

288
After arriving at a D.A. for day, we calculate D.A. for month,
which is 102.66 x 31 = 3182.46.
Special Allowance payable to ‘A’ & ‘B’ grade Officers is
considered as Basic pay for calculating payment of variable Dearness
Allowance.
HRA:
HRA is paid 10% of wages & DA (Not applicable to employees
staying in Quarters) except in cases of Standard Rent. Members of the
staff occupying quarters prior to March 1987 were given the option to
exercise the payment of standard rent instead of HRA @ 10% of Basic +
D.A. As such they are paid HRA as was paid to them in the month of
March 1987.
In cases where both the Husband & Wife are employed in the
Undertaking and are not occupying quarters, both are eligible for HRA.
However, in case they are occupying quarters, then both are not eligible
for HRA & rent (5%) is recovered from the employee in whose name the
quarter has been allotted.
Member of staff occupying Undertaking’s quarters who is eligible
for HRA & having his family members in the services of the Undertaking
sharing the same accommodation with him shall be eligible for HRA due
to them subject to the condition that the total amount of HRA paid to
them shall not exceed the standard rent actually paid by that member of
staff.
