(a) the reasons for failure in identifying the cases of subletting the Government accommodations;
(b) whether subletting of Government accommodation debar other legible employees; and
(c) if so, the steps taken to form any code of conduct in this regard?
MINISTER OF STATE FOR URBAN DEVELOPMENT & POVERTY ALLEVIATION ( SHRI BANDARU DATTATREYA )
(a): Subletting in Government accommodation is detected through
physical inspection carried out, within the constraints of
manpower, by team of officers of the Directorate of Estates.
Where prima facie cases of subletting are suspected, the same is
established after issuing show cause notice to the allottee
concerned. Sometimes, for want of adequate documents and
supportive evidence, it becomes difficult to clearly establish
the case as one of subletting.
(b)&(c): Subletting does adversely affect the allotment of
Government accommodation to eligible and needy government
servants. To check the menace of subletting, deterrent penal
action is taken under Allotment Rules which, besides
cancellation of allotment, debars allottees from seeking further
allotment for the remaining period of their services. In
addition, the concerned disciplinary authorities are also
advised to take disciplinary action against the delinquent Govt.
servants under the relevant Conduct Rules.
