Prodedure for allotment of Railway Quarter to the Officers
Initial Allotment
Officers are permitted to seek allotment of Quarters from an area but not a particular Quarter in that area/colony. They can however exercise their option for a specific floor i.e. Ground Floor or First Floor or type of quarters (Independent /Flats etc.)
If, after submitting the application, an Officer wishes to make changes in the options already exercised, he/she can do so before allotment of Quarters. However, the officer loses original seniority and will have his option counted from the date of revised application
An Officer wishes to apply for a higher type of accommodation on his/her becoming eligible for the same after registering for a lower type of Quarter, has to apply afresh for the registration of the higher type of Quarter. In such cases, the registration made for lower type of Quarter gets cancelled
Allotment is made strictly on the basis of waiting list and immediately on allotment of Quarters, name of the Officer will be deleted from the waiting list.
| When an officer has applied for a quarter, and in case a vacant quarter is available as per the entitlement of the officer but not in a particular pool/area as requested by the officer, one quarter among the vacant quarter (as chosen by the officer) will be allotted to him. His original request will continue to be registered and as and when his turn comes up, he will be allotted quarter in the requested pool/area. This will not be considered as change of quarter. |
|
| On allotment of the Quarter, the Officer has the option to express his willingness to the occupation of the allotted quarter within 7 working days from the date of allotment. If no intimation is received within 7 days, the allotment is liable to be cancelled and the quarter will be allotted to the officer next in turn in the waiting list. If the officer refuses occupation of quarter he/she will be debarred for one year for allotment of Railway Quarter either on initial allotment or on changeover basis. |
|
|
| Allotted quarter should be occupied within 15 days from the date of allotment. The period of 15 days is to enable the Engineering, Electrical & S&T Department to attend to minor or allowable works like repairs to doors, windows, plumbing, brightening wiring, telephone line etc., of the unit. Any requirement that does not come in the ambit of allowable work and treated as improvement/modification/alteration of the allotted unit would be taken up, if permissible, after occupation of the quarter by the officer and therefore no extension of time limit is permitted on account of these works. |
| Rent will be recovered from the 16th day of the allotment, or the date of occupation, whichever is earlier. |
On occupation of the quarter officers desire to have a change from their existing accommodation to another area, floor, type etc., have to register for the same through an fresh application. Registration for Changeover will be allowed after six months from the date of occupation of the existing quarter. No separate waiting list is maintained for requests of change over. They will be registered in the common waiting list along with other requests for initial allotment with ‘date of registration’ as the criteria.
Only one changeover is permitted within the same area. Changeover is not permitted to the same floor within the same area. Requests can be to a specific floor or area but not to a specific quarter. An Officer already in occupation of a quarter, on allotment of another quarter on changeover basis will be allowed 15 days time for occupation of the allotted Quarter and 21 days time for vacation of the existing accommodation. After 15 days, stay in the original quarter will be treated as ‘un-authorized’ and damage rent at the prevailing rates will be recovered for the same till its vacation
Procedure for vacating Railway Quarter
Officers who want to vacate the Railway Quarter under their occupation on their transfer, retirement etc. shall apply to SDGM for necessary permission to vacate the same. Requests of Officers who want to vacate the Quarters on reasons other than retirement or transfer, shall be recommended by the respective PHOD /DRM.
Retention of accomodation
Officers wishing to retain the quarters on transfer, retirement etc. shall apply for and get the sanction of the competent authority in advance. Retention of the quarter without the sanction of the competent authority is treated as unauthorized occupation of the quarter attracting levy of damage rent besides initiation of eviction proceedings.
Transfer of Officers - Regularisation of quarters
Railway Quarters retained by an officer on his/her transfer to an outstation will be regularized from the date of joining back Secunderabad provided the officer assumes charge on or before the date of permission granted to retain the quarter.
Validity of registration in case of Transfer
On transfer of an officer from Secunderabad, his / her name will be deleted from the waiting list. The Officer will only be permitted to retain the accommodation under his/her occupation on the day of transfer and no request for change over will be permitted during the period of retention. In case, the officer joins back Secunderabad and wishes to move to another quarter of same/higher type, he/she has to register afresh for such accommodation.
