Penal Rent after transfer/retirement of Govt. employees in Haryana.

No.10/57/2011 -2FICV

From
The Principal Secretary to Govt. Haryana,
Finance Department.

To
(1) All the Heads of Departments,
(2) The Commissioner of Divisions,
(3) The Registrar, Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh.
(4) All Deputy Commissioners and Sub Divisional Officers (Civil) in,Haryana.

Dated Chandigarh, the 18th June, 2012.

Subject:- Penal Rent after transfer/retirement of Govt. employees in Haryana.

Sir,
   I am directed to refer to the Haryana Government, Finance Department circular letter No. l0/14/94-2FICW, dated 20.1.95 and l0/30/96-2FICW dated 30.5.1997 on the subject noted above and to state that it has come to the notice of State Government that normally Government employees do not vacate the Government Accommodation on the prescribed date after their retirement/transfer. Further some of the officers/officials retain their Government Accommodation even after the prescribed period and earn rental income from their own houses at the present market rates. Now the matter regarding charging of penal/market rent after transfer/retirement of Haryana Government employees has been re-considered by the Government it has been decided to enhance the penal/ market rent of the Government Accommodation so that such unauthorized retention does not create administrative problems leading to resentment amongst the employees who are waiting for the allotment of Government Accommodation. Further, after careful consideration, it has been decided that:-

   (i) Penal rent should be at least 300 times of the license fee. In any event after 3 months of over stay during which time, penal rent can be charged, defaulting employee should be charged, twice the market rent in order to disincentivize him/her from (a) occupying Government property and (b) denying another eligible employee right to occupy Government House. Market rent may be determined by a committee consisting of FCPW. EIC PWD(B&R), Chief Engineer (Buildings) and a representative of FD not below the rank of Joint Secretary. It may be revised on year to year basis thereafter.

   (ii) In case sub-letting is found to be have been done by the employee, penal rent should be 500 times of license fee for first three months and thereafter it should be five times of market rent. In all such cases where an employee sub-lets Government Accommodation he/she should be charge-sheeted under rule-7 of the HCS (P&A) Rules 1987 as it amounts to serious insubordination to continue to occupy Government house in an unauthorized fashion. It should also debar him/her from getting Government Accommodation in future for a period of five years.

   (iii) In all such cases proceedings need to be initiated under Public Premises Act for eviction. The normal rent will he calculated by the PWD (B&R) Department. Haryana in accordance with the instructions No. 10/24/2001 - 2FICW dated 1.9.2008 i.e. 1.5% license fee of basic pay.

   2. These orders will be effective from the date of issue of these instructions. Necessary amendments in Rule 5.23 of CSR Vol.I Part-I will be made in due course.

Yours faithfully,
