2.If there is no limits what should be the way to calculate the CCA?
3.If dearness allowance is bieng paid then should the CCA be paid or only one of them is sufficient.

City Compensatory Allowance is paid to compensate cost of living in the city. Dearness Allowance is also a kind of compensation but it takes in to account the general cost of living, defenitely variable according to grades of city. Normally, CCA will be equal to all employees right from the Manager to Sweeper barring some exceptions where comapnies may have different CCAs to different categories of employees. That is why CCA is not calculated as percentage of Basic but paid as a fixed amount whereas DA (except Industrial Variable DA) is paid as percentage of Basic Salary.
The amount of CCA to be paid depends on company's policy and there is no legislative ruling in this regard except the taxability.

I regret to say that I do not have any ready made information about the amount of CCA throughout India. It is purely a matter depended on the company's policy about categorisation of city by the company. Therefore, two different companies may have two different CCA to the employees posted in the same city.

Hi Mr. Madhu, I want to know is that, If the CCA is equal to DA, So, PF is applicable on that, & what is the maximum limit of the same. Regards,

CCA is DA. Both are different items. When DA reflects the actual cost of living index, the CCA need not necessarily change according to CPI. Normally, it will be fixed and it is given to 'compensate' additional expenses (only to an extent) involved in the city life. Therefore, it will not attract PF.
