The Ninth Pay Revision Commission submitted its report to the Government on 5-12-2009 and recommended, inter alia that, "as in the case of regulation of D.A. while on leave, the payment of H.R.A. & C.C.A. may also be allowed to State Govt. employees as applicable to the employees of Govt. of India. The Commission therefore recommends the payment of H.R.A / C.C.A upto 180 days during leave of all kinds in the normal course.
It was ordered that the maximum earned leave that may be granted at a time to a government servant in superior service is enhanced from 120 days to 180 days on par with the employees of the Govt. of India.
After careful examination of the report, Government decided to accept the recommendations of the Pay revision Commissioner and hereby order that, the payment of HRA and CCA shall be allowed to State Govt. Employees upto 180 days during leave of all kinds.
