GHMC expansion boosts salaries of teachers and staff

The expansion of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) jurisdiction has become a boon for government school teachers and other government employees, as their monthly salaries are set to increase.

With new boundaries recently coming into effect, government employees are now eligible for a revised House Rent Allowance (HRA) and



City Compensatory Allowance (CCA).

Previously, employees working within eight kilometres of the GHMC boundary were given 13 percent HRA. In some peripheral areas, they also received 11 percent HRA.

Under the expanded GHMC limits, they are now eligible for an HRA rate of 24 percent, applicable to the corporation limits.
