New Delhi, Dated 30.5.91
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub: Glazing of verandahs in the General Pool residential
accommodation at the request of allottees.
The undersigned is directed to refer to the Directorate
of Estates OM No. 18011/5/88-Pol. III dated 10.11.88 on the
subject mentioned above and to say that prior to 1.7.87, glazing
of varandahs was being done at the request or the allottees on
charging additional licence fees. However, since with effect
from 1.7.87 licence fee is charged on an uniform rate with
reference to the relevant type of accommodation, it is no longer
permissible to charge additional licence fee for glazing of
verandah and the same was being carried out like other
additions/alterations within the annual monetary ceiling fixed
for different types of accommodation as per OM dt. 10.11.88.
Since the cost of glazing of verandah in most of the houses,
particularly, in types-II,III and IV was much more than the
annual ceiling, it had not been possible to acceeded to the
request of the allottees in this regard.
2. This matter has since been re-examined and it has now
been decided that henceforth glazing of verandahs may be carried
out at the request of the allottees on charging 10% of the cost
thereof. The monetary ceiling prescribed in OM., dated 10.11.88
shall not apply to the work of glazing of varandahs.
3. The additional living area that may be available to the
allottees due to the glazing of varandahs would automatically be
taken into consideration for fixation of flat rate of licence
fee as per the D.E`s OM No. 13035(1)/85-Pol.II (Vol.III) dated
78.87.
4. This issues with the concurrence of Finance Division
(W&E) vide their No. 687-FA/91, dated 6.5.91.
