The
undersigned is directed to refer to this Directorate’s OM No.

mentioned subject and to say that as per the provisions of SR –
317-B-3(2) of the Allotment of Government Residences (General Pool in
Delhi) Rules, 1963, an allottee, owning a house at the time of allotment
either in his own name or in the name of any members of his family at
the place of posting or in an adjoining municipality, shall notify the
fact to the Directorate of Estates within a period of one month from the

However, it is noticed from the records received from concerned
administrative divisions of Ministries/Departments that declaration of
house owning is received only at the time of application for allotment
of accommodation, whereas, the same under the provisions SR-317-B-3(3)
received is very negligible as compared to allotment made. In order to
streamline the already laid down procedure, it is requested that the
administrative authority of the concerned Ministries/Departments, etc.
to ensure that the provisions Sr-317-B-3(2) as well as 3(3) are followed
strictly. In this regard, it is pertinent to mention here that from
1.3.2015 onwards, concerned Ministries/Departments of the applicant for
GPRA are advised to ensure that the particulars/details furnished by the
applicant in the online DE-2 Form and the Acceptance Form are true and
correct. It is thus requested now that the administrative authority of
the concerned Ministries/Departments should ensure that the entries made
by the applicant in DE-2 Form as well as the Acceptance Form with
regard to owning of house, at the time of forwarding the same to this
Directorate is as per the latest Immovable Property Return (IPR) filed
by the applicant.
3.
Further, they should also instruct all allottees in their
Ministry/Department to intimate the Directorate of Estates regarding
rental income, if any, from the house owned at the time of
allotment/acquired after the allotment of Govt. accommodation either in
his own name or in the name of any members of his family at the place of
posting or in an adjoining municipality, and whenever any change in
rental income, which affect the rate of prescribed licence fee as per OM
No. 12035/11/99-Pol.II, dated 24.7.2003, so as to levy the prescribed
rate of licence fee in this regard, to avoid any loss to Govt.
exchequer. In case the details of rental income furnished by any
allottee is found false at any later stage, the licence fee of the
particular accommodation will be enhanced to the maximum as per OM dated
24.7.2003 w.e.f the date of increase, by the Directorate of Estates suo

Shri Venkaiah Naidu inspected another
block of 384 houses under construction and instructed CPWD to make
mandatory provision of solar heating panels, LED lighting, rain water
harvesting, green belt and Green Building Code for all new construction
projects.
Stating that CPWD is currently handling
over 7,000 projects at a cost of over Rs.40,000 cr, Shri Venkaiah Naidu
asked the construction major to get more efficient, transparent and
accountable in its functioning, with emphasis on quality, timely
completion of projects and proper utilization of its large manpower. He
informed that under his direction, CPWD placed all information about
7,000 projects in public domain by posting them on its website so that
public can scrutinize and monitor execution of projects. CPWD’s website
enables public to post comments, complaints and photos for taking
appropriate action.
Shri Venkaiah Naidu lamented that
intervention at his level was required to get water supply to the large
number of houses meant for government employees, whose construction was
completed last year and were inaugurated today, after substantial delay.
The Minister informed that within five
weeks of launching of Prime Minister’s Jan Dhan Yojana, over 6 crore new
bank accounts were opened and this goes to prove that ‘if there is
will, things will fall in place.’
