A.Dear Client,
A contractual and fixed-term employee is governed by the contract of employment. If your letter of appointment makes you eligible to get that allowance, you may approach accordingly to the concerned authority for disbursement of hardship allowance payable under the 7th CPC Rules. Usually, risk and hardship allowance is available to defense personnel, Railways, Air force, employees attached to disaster management etc. who are on permanent roles of the deptt.

A.Dear client,
Those employees will get hardship allowances who will be posted in the hardship stations to perform tasks which need extra efforts or involve some risks. Every govt. employee can get this hardship allowance if their posting is in such an area where it is very high altitude like as in Siachen, or they also get hardship allowance for staying in metropolitan city where living costs are sky high. A major portion of the hardship allowance given by the govt. goes to the civil servants and the paramilitary forces. They are often posted in several tough terrains and are exposed to several hazards.
