emoluments; where the emoluments are equal, by the length of service and where
both the emoluments and length of service are equal, on the basis of the scale of pay
of the officer, the officer working in a post having higher scale of pay taking
precedence over the officer in receipt of lower scale of pay.

terminal benefits (like civil/military pension/gratuity) other than leave for their past
service.

benefits will be admissible only in respect of the continuous service rendered prior to the
last break.

(ii) Priority date for Type IV Special and higher accommodation – condonation of the
period during which the officer was ineligible for higher type
It has been decided that in all such cases, break in the continuity of entitlement of
a particular type may be treated as dies-non, if the period of continued entitlement for
higher type prior to this break was one year or more and the benefit of such period may
be allowed for computation of seniority for the higher entitled type of accommodation. In
cases, where there are more than one such breaks in continued entitlement for a higher
type of accommodation, only the last break should be condoned provided the period of
entitlement for higher type of accommodation prior to that break is one year or more.
17
(D.E. O.M. No.12027 (3)/76-Pol.II dated 14-12-1977)
(iii) Priority date of officers entitled to Type I to IV
It has been decided that in the case of officials entitled for types I to IV (A to D)
accommodation, if subsequent to the crucial date fixed for the relevant allotment year, the
officer was drawing lesser emoluments for a short period and has started drawing the
prescribed emoluments at the time of allotment, the period during which the officials
drew lesser emoluments may be ignored and allotment be made on the basis of his date of
joining service. If however, subsequent to applying for accommodation, the entitlement

O.M. No.12035/16/2010-Policy II dated 8th April, 2010
(i) Preparation of Unified Waiting Lists
(a) Type IV(Spl) and higher types and hostel accommodation
(a) A single waiting list of the applicants for initial as well as change allotments of
General Pool residential accommodation will be drawn up on the basis of the
date of priority, as is currently done to draw up the initial waiting list(s). Date of
priority of an officer in respect of types IV (Spl) and higher types/hostel
accommodation means the earliest date from which he has been continuously
drawing emoluments relevant to the particular type. Officers drawing higher
emoluments will be placed senior to those who are in receipt of lower
emoluments. Where emoluments drawn by two or more officers are the
same/equal, inter se seniority among them shall be determined on the basis of
the length of Government service. Where both the emoluments and length of
Government service are equal, inter se seniority 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
26
be determined by the date of retirement, i.e., officers who retire earlier will be
placed above those who retire later.
(iii) Allotment in a particular type shall be made to applicants having the
earliest priority date for that type of residences.
(iv) Each officer may be made two allotments in each type of
accommodation, i.e., initial and change.
(v) 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.
(vi) 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.
(vii) 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
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.
27
(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 accommodation to Secretaries/equivalent officers and
Chairmen/Members of various Commissions, etc., shall be made in the ratio of 2:
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 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.
(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
28
reference to the earliest dates since which they start drawing the eligibility pay
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.
(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.
(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 .
(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

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.

Reducing discretion in allotment of General Pool Residential Accommodation
-- introducing system of bidding for houses in higher types.
With a view to reduce discretion of the Directorate of Estates and

introducing complete transparency in allotment of General Pool residential
accommodation so as to satisfy the needs of the applicants, it has been decided to
introduce the Automated System of Allotment i.e. system of bidding for vacant
houses in various localities. The following procedures will be followed in this
regard:
(i) For this purpose, the position of vacant houses occurring up to the last day
of particular month would be consolidated category-wise and enlisted on
the website of the Directorate of Estates i.e. www.estates.nic.in
(ii) The individual applicant may see the vacancy position during 1st to 9th of
the following month and shall indicate his/her choices (at least three
choices) from the vacant houses available on the site. The applicants would
be allotted houses as per their order of preference, provided they are
senior most in a particular locality/category of accommodation.
(iii) If an officer is not interested for an allotment in the particular month,
he/she may also indicate the same within the bidding period i.e. 1st to 9th
of the month.
(iv) The facility of bidding would be available only to those applicants who
have registered themselves with the Directorate of Estates in the previous
month. However, they can bid for a locality other than the one indicated in
their application form.
(v) With the introduction of bidding system as above, the concept of technical
acceptance will be done away with. The applicant will have to accept the
house allotted as per his/her option in the bidding system. In the event of
non-acceptance, the applicant will be debarred for further allotment for a
period of one year. (now modified to three months only)
(vi) For ensuring more transparency and reducing clerical mistakes and
complaints, it would be mandatory for every applicant to apply online.
Each applicant will be given a password and login ID and will be in a
position to make necessary modification in his applicant, as deemed fit.
(viii) In the case of a situation where some officers have opted for
a particular house in the bidding system and some senior
most officer does not exercise the facility of bidding due to
reasons beyond his/her control, but has given his/her
31
preference for the locality in his/her application form, and in
case such an officer happens to be senior most for that
particular locality, such an officer will have precedents over
his juniors even though the juniors have opted for that house
in the bidding system.
O.M. No. 12035/16/2010-Pol.II dated 8.4.2010
The responsibility for participating in the bidding system during the

prescribed period for various types of accommodation will be that of the
concerned officer.
It has been decided that allotment of CI houses will be made in the ratio of 2:1:1 among the Secretaries to the
Government of India, Secretary Equivalent and Chainmen/members of Commissions etc. However, no HAG officers
in lists A or B shall be allotted CI house if and apex grade officers is waiting in the other list.

(iii) Revision of entitlements of officers for General Pool accommodation

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 this facility since they
are no longer eligible for the types they are occupying.

basis of his revised emolument, if he specifically applies for such an allotment.

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

will be eligible for allotment of higher type of accommodation, in their own turn, from
the quota earmarked in Lady Officers’ Pool
(v) Creation of a pool of accommodation for allotment to Secretaries and Secretary

level officers

accommodation for exclusive allotment to serving officers posted as Secretaries and Secretary
level officers, irrespective of the service to which they belong, as per details given below:

deputation
(a) It has now been decided that a separate Tenure Pool (Non-AIS Tenure Pool) of
accommodation may be established and maintained for allotment of Government
accommodation to the officers of Services other than the All India Services, who come
on Central deputation under the Central Staffing Scheme. The number of various
types of accommodation to be placed in the new Pool shall initially be 367, the details
of which are given below:
(i) Type VIA (CII): 24 flats to be placed in the (non-AIS) Tenure Pool on completion
of construction of Type VI houses planned at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg (Rouse
Avenue).
(ii) Type VB (DI): 63 flats to be placed in the (non-AIS) Tenure Pool on completion
of construction of Type V houses planned at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg (Rouse
Avenue).
(iii) Type VA (DII): 138 units to be placed in the (non-AIS) Tenure Pool out of the
existing General Pool over a period of 5 years, beginning with 2003-04.
(iv) Type IV (Special)/Type IV: 142 units [Type IV (Spl) – 42 and Type IV – 100]
to be placed in the (non-AIS) Tenure Pool on completion of construction of Dev
Nagar Housing Project where Type IV category houses have been planned.

after three years from 2003-04 to improve the compatibility between availability and
demand.
(c) Several officers of Services other than the All India Services, on expiry of their
deputation tenure with the Central Government under the Central Staffing Scheme, is
likely to secure posting in their parent Departments Cadres in Delhi itself and may then
insist on retention of Government accommodation allotted to them from the (non-AIS)
Tenure Pool. To avoid depletion in the stock of the (non-AIS) Tenure Pool
accommodation on account of such reversion/posting in Delhi, vacation of
accommodation in the (non-AIS) Tenure Pool by such officers would be insisted upon
as in the case of AIS Tenure Pool,, unless they continue to be eligible, after such
reversion and posting in Delhi, for allotment of accommodation from the General Pool
and their date of priority is covered for allotment of such accommodation.
(d) If this leads to retention of accommodation in the (non-AIS) Tenure Pool, equal
number and equivalent types of accommodation will be transferred and placed from the
General Pool to the (non-AIS) Tenure Pool to ensure that there is no depletion in the
(non-AIS) Tenure Pool for non-All India Services officers and dislocation of the
officers concerned is also avoided to the extent possible.

allotment has been cancelled under any of the provisions in these rules, until the residence
along with the out-houses appurtenant thereto have been vacated and full vacant
possession thereof has been restored to Government.

exchanged with Departmental Pool, provided there are no other dues to be recovered
from the officer for other periods and it has also been certified by the Department
concerned that the officer had actually paid the licence fee to the Department where he

ORGANISATIONAL HISTORY OF DIRECTORATE OF ESTATES
The Estate Office was first established in 1922 as a part of the Central Public Works
Department. It was then placed under a Superintending Engineer and dealt with the allotment of
Government owned houses, their maintenance and the recovery of rents. The Estate office was a
comparatively small organisation until outbreak of World War II. During this war, pressure on
the available accommodation increased beyond all proportion due to the creation and rapid
expansion of Government departments. To meet the situation, additional office and residential
buildings were built and also private residences were requisitioned under the Defence of India
Rules. As a result the number of residential and office buildings available for allotment in
Delhi, New Delhi and Shimla underwent a large increase. This was directly reflected on the rent
side also by correspondingly increase on the work of rent recoveries.
2. The all round increase in the Estate work became so heavy that it was felt that the only
way to enable the Estate office to cope efficiently with the multifarious demands made upon it
was to totally reorganise the then existing set up. The Estate Office was accordingly ‘separated’
from CPWD towards the end of October, 1944 and was established as an independent
Organisation under a whole time Estate Officer directly under the administrative control of the
then Ministry of Works and Housing and Supply.
3. The work relating to the provisions of office and residential accommodation in Calcutta
and Mumbai was also transferred from CPWD to the Estate Office at the same time. The small
organisations were also set up in these offices to cater the needs of the Central Government
Offices and staff located there. In addition at other regional stations viz. Shimla, Chennai,
Nagpur, Faridabad, Ghaziabad and Chandigarh Branch offices of Directorate of Estates were
set up to cater the need for estate functions existed but where the work load was not adequate
enough to set up a separate office for the purpose, these functions were kept under the charge of
respective CPWD offices. In some cases economy instructions were the reasons for not opening
a separate Estate office. Under the charge of CPWD, on behalf of Directorate of Estates, are the
Offices at Bangalore, Indore, Hyderabad, Shillong, Agartala, Imphal, Kohima, Cochin, Kanpur,
Lucknow, Allahabad, Rajkot , Jaipur, Mysore , Chennai, Dehradun and Srinagar etc.
4. Since the setting up of the above offices, the organisation was growing and the present
form was established in the Headquarters at New Delhi. The present objectives of the
Organisation are as under :-
i. Administration of Government Estate (Residential/office accommodation) under the
control of Ministry of Urban Development at New Delhi and 34 Regional Stations .
ii. Administration of Requisitioning and Acquisition of Immovable Property Act, 1952.
iii. Allotment of accommodation in Vigyan Bhavan
iv. Control administration of Holiday Home at Grand Hotel, Shimla and other touring
Government Hostels viz. Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Calcutta, Kanya Kumari, Mysore,
Amarkantak etc.
v. Administration of markets in Govt. colonies in Delhi, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Nagpur
and Mumbai..
