HRA for central government employees will be increased by 3% if the DA exceeds 25% of the basic salary under the rules of the 7th Pay Commission. The Department of Expenditure had issued an order in 2021 stating that the HRA would be automatically revised if the DA exceeded 25%.

As reported by Times Now, central government employees will receive the revised HRA in addition to their monthly basic salary.
