UPLOADING OF COURT VERDICT REGARDING PAYMENT OF HRA TO CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES OF DGQA

   1. Payment of HRA to DGQA Civ employees is governed SRO 1 E as amended by SRO-31. Recently, some DGQA employees obtained order from Hon’ble CAT, Kolkata Bench in their favour for payment of HRA without requirement of NAC. However Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka and Hon’ble Madhya Pradesh High Court have given judgments on the similar issue in favour of the department.
