Mumbai: The HC has ruledthat house rent allowance(HRA) is not a right.

A division bench of Jus-tice B P Dharmadhikari andJustice A P Bhangale ruledthat a government employeenot staying in the quarters de-spite its availability can bedisentitled from claiming thespecial allowance. The benchwas hearing a petition filed bythe defence ministry againstits employees working in theordinance factory in Nagpur,who were staying in their ownaccommodation. Nagpur hassurplus government accom-modation and is one of the fewcities where a central govern-ment employee, who lives inhis own house has to submit a“non-availability certificate”before he can ask for HRA.The government claimed thatits employees, who are offered

accommodation but refuse tooccupy the same, would not beentitled to HRA.

“HRA is not a matter ofright, it is a compensatory al-lowance given by an employertowards the rental accommo-dation expenses when the gov-ernment is unable to providesuitable accommodation to itsemployee,” said the judges.“The employee, if he residesin his own property, may notbe entitled to claim the HRA,because it is paid to central

government employees tocompensate them partly forthe especially higher rentswhich they have to pay forhired or rented residential ac-commodation in big cities, butnot as a source of profit,” theyadded.

The court quashed an or-der of the central administra-tive tribunal asking the gov-ernment to pay HRA toemployees who had were re-siding in their own houses.“Prima facie in our opinion,the pre-requisite for a non-availability certificate (NAC)as laid down in the officememorandum as operative inNagpur, when central govern-ment accommodation is avail-able in surplus and the gov-ernment is required to spendhuge amounts towards con-struction and maintenance(of the quarters), it is neitherarbitrary nor malafide,” saidthe judges.
