The Estate Office, Ministry of Housing and Works has allotted as many as 46 government accommodations to the federal government employees in category-II from the general waiting list under Rule-7 of AAR- 2002 during the last two years.
“The Estate Office has made all the allotments on merit by keeping view of the seniority of the government employees who are working in different ministries and divisions,” an official in the Ministry told.
He said that the Ministry of Housing and Works also intends to modify government accommodation allocation rules to facilitate federal government employees.
The official said a proposed amendment to modify the Allocation Rules, 2002 is under consideration and will be implemented as soon as possible.
He said the ministry plans to eliminate Rule 20 of Government House Allotment. This rule currently allows a government house allocated to a retired federal employee to be assigned to their employed son or daughter, he added.
