e-Sampada’s GPRA Housing Scheme: A Step Towards Employee Welfare!
The General Pool Residential Accommodation (GPRA) scheme is a housing scheme for central government employees. The scheme is administered by the Directorate of Estates (DoE) in Delhi and 31 other cities across India.
The GPRA scheme provides central government employees with the opportunity to apply for government-owned residential accommodation. The accommodation is allotted on the basis of seniority and eligibility.
To be eligible for the GPRA scheme, central government employees must meet the following criteria:
- They must be permanent employees of the central government.
- They must be posted in a city where GPRA accommodation is available.
- They must not own any other residential property in the city where they are posted.
Central government employees can apply for GPRA accommodation online through the e-Sampada portal. The portal allows employees to view the availability of government-owned accommodation, submit applications, and track the status of their applications.
Once an employee has been allotted GPRA accommodation, they are required to pay a monthly rent. The rent is calculated based on the type of accommodation and the city where it is located.
The GPRA scheme is a valuable benefit for central government employees. It provides them with the opportunity to live in affordable and well-maintained government-owned accommodation.
Here are some of the benefits of the GPRA scheme:
- Affordable housing: The rent for GPRA accommodation is significantly lower than the market rent for private accommodation.
- Well-maintained accommodation: GPRA accommodation is well-maintained by the Directorate of Estates.
- Central location: GPRA accommodation is usually located in central areas of the city, making it convenient for employees to commute to work.
- Other amenities: GPRA accommodation often comes with other amenities, such as security guards, parks, and playgrounds.
