Regulations regarding House Rent Allowance (HRA) for post-attached residences
Under what circumstances can government accommodation be allotted to an employee, and what are the regulations regarding House Rent Allowance (HRA) for post-attached residences?
According to the Department of Posts Order No. 7-6/99-Bldg dated 11.07.2009, no government accommodation can be forced upon an employee against their will in the absence of a written request for allotment. However, for "post-attached" or rent-free residences, it is mandatory for the incumbent—whether on a regular or temporary basis—to occupy the accommodation whenever it is available. In cases where an official defaults on occupying an available attached quarter, the payment of House Rent Allowance (HRA) is not admissible. For stations where accommodation is surplus, the department may explore attaching them to specific posts or offering them to other Central or State Government departments on a rental basis.
