What is City Compensatory Allowance?
In simple words, City Compensatory Allowance or CCA is an allowance provided by companies, (public sector or private sector), to its employees to compensate for the higher cost of living in metropolitan or Tier-1 cities. In some cases, CCA is also offered for employees working in Tier-2 cities as well.
City Compensatory Allowance is offered as per the discretion of the employer. CCA is computed as per the pay scale and grade of an employee and not as per the basic salary. Thus it differs between cities. For instance, an employee working in Mumbai would receive higher a CCA as compared to someone working in Delhi. There is no upper or lower ceiling for CCA and for all taxation purpose, CCA is fully taxable if the amount exceeds Rs. 900/-
