length of Government service are equal, inter se seniority
18
in the waiting list for accommodation will be determined on
the basis of scales of pay of the officers, i.e., officers
working in post(s) carrying higher scale of pay shall be
placed senior to those who are in lower scale of pay.
Where all the parameters stated above are the same, inter
se position of the applicants in the waiting list(s) will be
determined by the date of retirement, i.e., officers who
retire earlier will be placed above those who retire later.
(ii) Allotment in a particular type shall be made to applicants
having the earliest priority date for that type of residences.
(iii) Each officer may be made two allotments in each type of
accommodation, i.e., initial and change.
(iv) An officer who accepts an offer of allotment shall not be
made another allotment in a lower type of accommodation
subsequently and his/her name will be deleted from the
waiting lists for lower types of accommodation after
acceptance.
(v) The net result would be that no junior officer in the waiting
list(s) will be allotted accommodation of a particular type
in a locality unless the demand of senior officers in the
change/initial waiting lists is satisfied.
(vi) Subject to sub-paragraphs (b) and (c) below, the existing
change waiting lists would not be operative w.e.f. 1.5.2004
and allotment of Government residences in change will be
made as per the revised provisions of the Allotment Rules
(SR 317-B-15), which are being notified separately.
(b) Allotment of type VIB/VIA (CI/CII) accommodation
On account of shortage of General Pool residential

accommodation of various types, particularly that of types VIB
and above, it has not been possible to provide entitled type of
accommodation to the officers working in the eligible offices. In
view of this, it has been decided as under:
(i) Secretaries to the Government of India and officers in the

rank and/or pay of Secretaries (i.e., equivalent officers)
would be considered for allotment of accommodation with
reference to the earliest date since which they started
drawing the fixed emolument of Rs. 26,000/- per month,
i.e., date of priority.
(ii) In case the dates of priority are the same, the inter se
seniority of Secretaries and equivalent officers in the
waiting list will be determined with reference to their
19
original (batch) seniority in the civil list in respect of
officers belonging to the same organized Service and the
year of allotment in case they belong to different organized
Services. The date of superannuation of two or more such
officers will thus have no bearing on the allotment of
accommodation, even if all other parameters for
determination of the dates of priority are identical [vide
para. 3(a)(i)].
(iii) Whereas Secretary and equivalent officers would be
considered for allotment with reference to the earliest date
since which they started drawing the fixed emolument of
Rs.26, 000/- per month, Chairmen and Members of various
Commissions, Tribunals and other similar bodies, who also
have the fixed pay of Rs. 26,000/- per month, would be
considered for allotment of accommodation with reference
to the dates on which they joined as Chairmen/Members of
the Commission(s), etc.
(iv) Secretary and equivalent officers and Chairmen/Members
of various Commissions, etc., shall be allotted CII ground
floor accommodation in Central localities on immediate
basis.
(v) Allotment of CI and/or CII accommodation to
Secretaries/equivalent officers and Chairmen/Members of
various Commissions, etc., shall be made in the ratio of 1:
1.
(vi) The normal waiting list for CII ground floor accommodation
will operate only after the waiting lists of
Secretary/equivalent officers and Chairmen/Members of
various Commissions, etc., are exhausted.
(vii) Additional Secretaries to the Government of India and
equivalent officers shall be initially allotted, on priority, C-
II first floor accommodation in Central localities, excluding
R.K. Puram. The date of priority, i.e., the earliest date
since which the officer has been continuously drawing the
eligibility pay between Rs. 22,400 to 24,499 per month
shall be taken into account for drawing up the waiting list
for initial allotment. Such officers who are already in
possession of Government accommodation in Multi-
Storeyed (CII) Flats, R.K. Puram may also apply for
allotment of CII first floor accommodation in Central
localities and this would not be treated as a change for
them.
20
(viii) CII ground floor accommodation (Central/non-Central
localities), which remains available after satisfying the
demand of Secretary/equivalent officers, will be first
allotted to Additional Secretaries/ equivalent officers.
(ix) Additional Secretaries/equivalent officers may further
apply for change of accommodation in Central localities
and the inter se seniority of such applicants shall be
determined on the basis mentioned above (i.e., date of
priority). Allotment shall be made on maturity of their
turn, in order of their position in the waiting list and having
regard to their preferences.
(x) The list of officers who have been waiting for more than 3
years in the change waiting list shall be frozen as on
30.4.2004. The officers in this frozen list will be offered
their preferred CII accommodation, as per their turn, along
with other officers who shall now be eligible in terms of
sub-paragraphs mentioned above, in the ratio of 1 : 1.
After the list of officers waiting for more than 3 years in
the change waiting list is exhausted through allotments
made in the ratio mentioned above, CII accommodation
shall be allotted on the basis of principles mentioned in the
foregoing sub-paragraphs.
(c) Allotment of type VB/VA (DI/DII) accommodation
(i) After meeting the demand, if any, of

Secretaries/equivalent officers and Additional
Secretaries/equivalent officers for DI and DII type
accommodation, such accommodation on ground floor in
Central localities will be allotted on priority to Joint
Secretaries to the Government of India and officers in the
rank and/or pay of Joint Secretaries (i.e., equivalent
officers) if they apply for such accommodation. Joint
Secretaries to the Government of India and equivalent
officers will be considered for allotment of DI type
accommodation with reference to the earliest dates since
which they start drawing the eligibility pay between
Rs.18,400 to 22,399 continuously.
(ii) After meeting the demand of Joint Secretary and
equivalent officers, DI type accommodation will be allotted
to the Directors/Deputy Secretary and equivalent officers,
in the order of their date of priority.
21
(iii) (1) Similarly, ground floor DII accommodation in Central
localities will be allotted on priority to eligible officers after
meeting the demand, if any, of Secretaries, Additional
Secretaries and Joint Secretaries and their equivalent
officers, in that order.
(2) The allotment of DI accommodation to eligible
officers will be done on the basis of the dates since which
they have been continuously drawing the eligibility pay
(Rs.15,100 to 18,399 per month).
(3) Similarly, the allotment of DII accommodation to
eligible officers will be made on the basis of the date(s)
since which they have been continuously drawing the
eligibility pay (Rs.12,000 to 15,099 per month).
(iv) As there are several officers in the existing change waiting
lists awaiting allotment of DI and DII types of
accommodation, the above-mentioned criteria for
allotment shall be adopted in the following manner:
• The list of officers who have been waiting for more than 3
years in the change waiting list shall be frozen as on
30.4.2004. The officers in this frozen list will be offered their
preferred DI/DII accommodation, as per their turn, along with
other officers who shall now be eligible in terms of sub-
paragraph (c) (i), (ii) and (iii) above, in the ratio of 1 : 1.
• After the list of officers waiting for more than 3 years in the
change waiting list is exhausted through allotments made in
the ratio mentioned above, DI and DII types of
accommodation shall be allotted on the basis of principles
mentioned in sub-paragraph (c) (i), (ii) and (iii) above.
(v) Type IV (Special) accommodation will be allotted, mutatis
mutandis, to eligible officers in the waiting lists after
meeting the demand, if any, of Directors/ Deputy
Secretary level officers.
These decisions shall be effective from 1.5.2004.

especially on the expiry of the allotment period such as

(DE OM NO. 18011/1/72-Pol. II dated 21.7.1972)
(iii) Revision of entitlements of officers for general pool

accommodation
Government is pleased to decide that an officer who is

already an allottee of a residence, would not be required to shift
to a lower type of residence merely because of his becoming
ineligible for the type of residence in his occupation on the basis
of the revised entitlement. He will be permitted to continue in
that residence on payment of normal licence fee under FR 45-A.
As for change, such allottees will not, however, be allowed

are occupying.

of a lower type on the basis of his revised emolument, if he
specifically applied for such an allotment.

with suitable house rent allowance, leaving it to them to make
their own arrangements for accommodation. In case, however, it
is felt necessary that general pool accommodation should be
provided to such a person either on payment of rent or on rent
free basis, the concerned Ministry should consult the Directorate
of Estates well in advance so that the Directorate of Estates may
examine the matter and offer their comments about the
desirability of making such commitment or otherwise. In the
