HRA Componet to Deceased family...

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 25 October 2010 This query is : Resolved
My father expired in the month of Sep2009, he was working with a Punjab Govt Dept. From some resources i came to know that there is a component called HRA Allowance (paid for 12 months )which is paid to the family of deceased if deceased and his/her family is residing in the rented house. I marked a letter along with a copy stating that rule(picked from Rules book, Punjab Govt.) to my father's Dept. but till date i have not been paid with this amount or not even the dept. has reverted me for that letter.
Kindly guide if there has been any such rule of paying 12 month HRA to the family of deceased if they are residing in a rented house.If yes, how can i fight for that.

First check whether the Punjab Govt give such allowances to the legal heirs of the deceased employee or not. If yes, then filing a Writ of Mandamus in the high court should yield the desired result expeditiously.
