[edit] Earlier criteria
Before the Sixth Central Pay Commission, the classification of cities in India was based on two parameters — Compensatory City Allowance (CCA), further divided into categories A-1, A, B-1 and B-2, and House Rent Allowance (HRA), further divided into categories A-1, A, B-1, B-2 and C. This classification was initially based on the recommendations of the Fifth Central Pay Commission of India (1997). City statuses were later revised based on the results of the 2001 Census of India. [2]
[edit] Current criteria
Under the recommendation of the Sixth Central Pay Commission, the compensatory city allowance was abolished in 2008. The earlier classification of cities was changed from A-1 to X, A, B-1 and B-2 to Y and C and unclassified cities to Z.[1]
