Dear member,

I have not come across any statute prescribing any minimum limit for HRA or conveyance allowance. In the absence of it, the contract of service shall govern the issue. Thus, unless you have contracted to pay Con. all or med. allow at the rates mentioned above, i.e., Rs 800/- and Rs 1250/-, there should not be any problem in paying Rs. 600/- and Rs. 1000/-

Conv. Allowance & Medical Assistance components (Rs.800/- & 1250/- p.m. respectively) are max. tax exempted components as per Income Tax rules. Not mandatory to stick to max. limit. Pon

Dear member,

I have mentioned in my earlier reply that I have not come across any law on HRA. It should be read as a medical allowance. So far as HRA is concerned, some states like Maharashtra have passed a law on the minimum HRA to be granted by establishments.

Dear Sir,

Conveyance and Medical Allowance are the benefits to be extended by the management. There is no statutory effect for the above benefits. Management may extend these facilities based on their financial returns.

The minimum HRA payable as per the Maharashtra Act is not less than 5% of the basic + D.A, subject to a minimum of Rs. 20/- per month. It was inadvertently mentioned as 20% in my earlier reply.
