Subject: Retention of GPRA through Inter-pool Exchange – clarification

In view of the latest development in the rule of retaining Government Accommodation by officials posted at North Eastern Region, all probability of undue retention of GPRA through various means is being looked into. It has been noticed that many allottee availing themselves of GPRA in Delhi through inter-pool exchange, in spite of their transfer to outstations, are trying to retain their Government Accommodation in Delhi in contrary to the existing provisions.

2. In view of the above, it is hereby clarified in respect of accommodation availed through inter-pool exchange that the maximum retention period in Delhi admissible to an officer transferred out of Delhi is strictly 8 months (2+6) or 3 years (as the case may be under Rule 40, 41 or 43 of CGGPRA Rules-2017) following the effective date of the transfer. In order to avoid any confusion in this matter, it is hereby reiterated/further clarified that the inter-pool exchange of an accommodation Is valid only for the period the officers continue to be posted in Delhi.

3. This issues with the approval of the Competent Authority.
