Potential penalties for a government employee who owns a house at their place of duty
What are the reporting requirements and potential penalties for a government employee who owns a house at their place of duty while occupying government accommodation?
According to the Ministry of Urban Development, Directorate of Estates Office Memorandum F. No. 18012/1/2016-Pol.III dated 26th February, 2016, an allottee who owns a house at their place of posting (either in their own name or a family member's name) must notify the Directorate of Estates within one month of the house being let out. If an allottee fails to report these details or provides false information regarding rental income, the Directorate of Estates may suo motu enhance the licence fee to the maximum prescribed rate to avoid loss to the government exchequer.
