IAS Officer Allowances

The allowances forms a major part of this gross monthly salary. It is important to have an understanding of it.

HRA (House Rent Allowances)

HRA is given when the IAS officer needs to live in a rented accommodation at the place of his posting. His HRA depends on the kind of posting he gets.
The HRA of an IAS officer is 24% of the Basic Salary if he gets posted in one of the 8 metro cities in India, namely Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Pune
If the IAS officer gets posted into smaller cities with a population of above 5 lakhs, then he’s eligible for an HRA of 16%
If the IAS officer gets posted into a rural setting, then he’s eligible for an HRA of 8%
You should note though that if the IAS officer chooses to reside in an official accommodation, he doesn’t receive an HRA.

DA (Dearness Allowances)

The DA is an allowance that the government pays to its employees to offset the effects of inflation and help them cope with the rising prices.
DA started from 0% after the 7th pay commission recommendation and it stands at 31% as of December 2021. As mentioned earlier, this component is linked to inflation. DA is revised twice a year based on the recommendation of the Cabinet Committee chaired by the Prime Minister.
Remember that the DA had touched 107% of the Basic Pay in 2015 (before the 7th pay commission implementation). Therefore, in the future, the DA part is expected to be significant in the salary of an IAS officer. Some of the other allowances (including HRA) are linked to the DA crossing the 50% & 100% of basic pay.

TA (Travel Allowances)

The TA is credited by the government into the accounts of the IAS officers to help them meet their travel expenses. As the DA, the TA is also not something that is static. It changes from time to time, depending on the rise and fall of fuel prices.
However, you should note that, if an IAS officer is given a government vehicle, then he doesn’t receive any TA.

Apart from these other allowances and perks include medical expenses, electricity bills, water bills, mobile bills, abroad study option, pensions and retirement benefits, etc.
