A-1 STATUS TO GREATER HYDERABAD TRICITY
The Ministry of Finance (Deptt. of Expenditure), with the purpose of grant of House Rent Allowance, City Compensatory Allowance and Transport Allowance to the Central Government Employees, classified cities having a population of 50 lakh and above (as per 1991 census) in the Municipal Area and in the Urban Agglomeration as "A-1".
As the population of Hyderbad Urban Agglomeration is 43,44,437 as per the 1991 Census, the city of Hyderabad has not been classified as "A-1" Class city.
The classification of cities , as "A-1" is not of relevance for the allocation of funds for upgradation of facilities in cities. Therefore, no allocation has been made on the basis of this classification of the cities.
This information was given by the Minister for Urban Affairs and Employment Shri Ram Jethmalani in a written reply to a question from Dr. Alladi P. Rajkumar in the Rajya Sabha.
