- (b) The  number  of flats constructed for Central  Government employees  along  with  the  funds  spent  on  such  construction
- during the said period, State/UT-wise and flat/type-wise;
- (c) Whether cases of irregularities/corruption in the construction of the  said  flats  have  come  to  the  notice  of  the  Government during the said period;
- (d) If  so,  the  details  thereof  and  the  remedial  measures  taken thereon; and
- (e) The  other  steps  taken  by  the  Government  to  bridge  the  gap between demand and supply of required flats by their employees?

## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE (INDEPENDENT CHARGE) OF THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS

(SHRI HARDEEP SINGH PURI)

- (b) The  details  of  GPRA  constructed  for  Central  Government employees and the funds spent on such constructions during the last three years are given in Annexure.
- (c)
- (d)
- No, Madam.
- Does not arise.
- (e) All government employees do not demand GPRA, since some prefer  to  make  private  arrangements  or  avail  House  Rent Allowance (HRA).  The government has taken various steps to maintain  the  balance  between  demand  and  allotment  by construction  of  new  residential  units,  outright  purchase  of ready-built  flats  or  redevelopment  of  existing  government colonies and allowing other Ministries/Departments to construct/purchase  staff  quarters  and  maintain  their  own Departmental Pool.
