One Day, One Minute, One Rule – 178.
Permissible period for an allottee to retain their previous government accommodation after being allotted a new one.
What is the permissible period for an allottee to retain their previous government accommodation after being allotted a new one, and what are the consequences of failing to shift within this timeframe?
According to the Ministry of Urban Development, Directorate of Estates Office Memorandum No. 12035/15/97-Pol.II dated 19.9.97, an allottee in occupation of General Pool residential accommodation is allowed to retain the former accommodation for a period of 8 days for the purpose of shifting to the new accommodation. The memorandum clarifies that delays based on pending white-washing, essential repairs, or requested additions/alterations by the CPWD are not valid grounds for overstaying, as such works should be completed after shifting to avoid holding two residences simultaneously. Failure to vacate within the allowed time renders the allottee liable to pay damages at the prescribed rate of licence fee for the earlier premises and potentially face eviction proceedings
