8th Pay Commission for CRPF: Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) has a vast role in maintaining internal security in the country. From crowd and riot control to staying alert during counter-insurgency operations to providing security to VVIPs, CRPF is one of the most prominent paramilitary forces in India. Its size, nationwide presence, responsibilities, and critical internal security roles highlight its importance. Like any other central government employees, CRPF employees, including non-gazetted and gazetted officers, have also been waiting for the salary revision in the 8th Pay Commission.

How HRA is calculated for central government employees
HRA is calculated based on a central govt employee's basic pay and the city they live in (X, Y, or Z). As per the 7th Pay Commission, HRA rates are at 24 per cent, 16 per cent, and 8 per cent of basic pay for X, Y, and Z cities respectively. Once the DA reached at 50 per cent, the rates increased to 30 per cent, 20 per cent and 10 per cent, respectively.
For our calculations, we will take 24 per cent as the HRA rate.
How TA is calculated for central government employees
Central govt employees get their TA as per their rank and the place they travel to attend their office. TA for them can be in the range of Rs 900 to Rs 7,200.
What we will calculate
We will calculate revised basic pay, HRA and TA for Head Constable (basic pay Rs 25,500), Inspector (basic pay Rs 44,900), Assistant Commandant (basic pay Rs 56,100), Commandant (basic pay Rs 1,23,100) and Inspector General Rs 1,44,200.
