## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU)

- (a) to (d): As per Central Government General Pool Residential Accommodation Rules 2017, Central Government Officials are eligible for different  types  of  Government  Accommodation  on  the  basis  of  their existing  Grade  pay/  basic  pay.  Allotment  to  General  Pool  Residential Accommodation to eligible government officials are made through online automated system of allotment through esampada portal. The allottees data fluctuates significantly, making it impractical to determine accurate figures due to the following reasons:
- i. The allotment process is fully automated, on self selection basis, which makes the demand and supply flexible, allowing officers to update their profiles based on their requirements.
- Officials have the option to select houses according to their
- ii. preferred type and locality.
- iii. They may also opt for a house in a category below their entitlement, depending on their personal needs.

- iv. Some officers opt not to update their profiles if they do not require an upgraded house. Consequently, the actual number of entitled officers cannot be determined with precision.

In view of the above, it is not feasible to ascertain the exact number of officers residing in houses of their entitled category or the number of allottees accommodated in lower-category houses.

The recent augmentation in the General Pool Residential Accommodation is given below:

1.  East Kidwai Nagar, Delhi - 4273
2.  Thyagraj Nagar, Delhi - 703
3.  Mohammadpur, Delhi - 708
4.  Sarojini Nagar, Delhi  - 1738
