E-awas: Just What You need to Know

Whether you work for the government and live in or near Delhi NCR, this article will provide you with information on how to get a government-allotted home on a competitive system close to your workplace.

The General Pool Residential Accommodation (GPRA) system uses a governance technology called e-awas and an internet portal called e-sampada to make this allotment as painless as possible. E-awas assures that the government’s distribution of housing to employees is transparent and devoid of corruption (G-2-E).

There under GPRA, the central government owns up to 65,000 residential units, which are all gradually allocated as vacation houses or tax-free residential zones by the directorate of estates (DoE).

The main business of the Directorate of Estates is to handle the allotment of Government Residential Accommodation to officers/officials of eligible Government of India offices. The online allotment application is used to complete the allocation procedure, which is completely automated.

Nevertheless, not everybody is qualified for an allotment. The Department of Education follows a thorough assessment and approval process for all applicants. A standing list is created based on numerous characteristics, and residential units are then allocated depending on the eligibility requirements.

GPRA eligibility requirements

To obtain government-assigned residential lodgings, one must overcome numerous obstacles. The most important criteria to remember are:

Applicants must be central government employees or employees working inside the NCT’s boundaries. The Cabinet Committee on Accommodation must accept the applicants’ proposed location (CCA).

• Applicants working in government agencies outside of Delhi must submit their proposals to the directorate after the CCA has approved them. Including the ideas described below, important material like the status of the office and the date of departure must be given.
• The applicant has to be a resident of the allocated zone. The whole NCT region of Delhi is an assignment zone. The city limits would be the allocation region, as dictated by regional offices in other cities.
• The applicant’s department must not have an accommodation scheme in place for its personnel. It was put in place to prohibit people from amassing a large number of properties.
• A priority waiting list is in place for all allotments. There are different priority when it comes to obtaining housing, and the homes vary appropriately.

Let’s examine at the types of houses and grade pays that the automatic e-awas system can accept now that you’re familiar with the eligibility requirements for a GPRA through an e-awas facilities.
