I am sharing the Table of Scale Wise Rental Ceiling Covered Area and Specification of Hired House for the employees. The covered area of the house is different for different pay scale employees. The table has 10 categories of employees BPS-wise. The table contains old rates of hiring; however, I have updated the same table with new rates effective from 1st July 2021 after the Enhancement of the Rental Ceiling of the Hiring 2021 Notification for Federal Government employees.
