Sublecl - Leasing of llouses for oflicers in the Central Pubtic [lnterprises.

Reference is invited to DPE O.M No.2(49y98-DPE(WC)'dated 25,6.99 in regard to piay revision for the
boardlevelandbelowboardlevelexecutivesof theCentral Publicflnterprisesw.ef. 11.97. paial0of theOM
reads as under:-

"ln respecl of leased accommorlation, the boards ol public enterprises will have the flexibility to revrew
and provide for an adequate level of leased accommodation for the executives who are entitled to this facilig "

2. ll has come to the notice of the Government that there have been certain irregularilies in the rnatter of
allowlng leased accommodation, payment of higher rental value of the leased accdmmodation, aflowing leasecl
accommodation to non-entitted officers, allowing bigger accommodation to retatively junior offtcers etc. Such
practices have been seriously viewed by the Central Vigilance Commission.

3 Although the Boards of public enterprises have the flexibility to review and provrde for an adequate levet
of leased accommodation to their executives, the Boards should exercise control metrculously in order io see that
no ttndue advantage accrues to the concerned offrcers who rnay be getting their own houses/flats self. leased or
even getling comfrany houses/flats on lease basis ln this regard appropriate action on the following lines needs
to be takcn by tht: Boards of PSLIs while allowing leasad accornrnodatron to their executives:-

(a) The Boards of PSUs may rdontify tlte executives who are entitled to leased accommodation and
notify the same;
(b) ln case the company's own quarters/flats are given to the executives, these should be of the
entitled plinth area. Such entitlement would also need to be specrfred by the Board crf Directors,
(c) ll any offrcer is allowed to get his own flaUhouse on self-lease basis, the payment of lease money
should in no case be trigher than the market rate keeping in view the area/location of the
flaUhouse. The basic point to be seen is that self-leased accommodation should not become a
'source of additional income by the officer concerned.
(d) lf the cornpany provides leased accommodation after obtaining it from any private owner on
lease basis, such decision of taking the flats on lease basis may be taken after following the set
procedures such.as inviting quotations/openino quotations in the presence of others etc.
(e) ln all case'.swhere the company provides leased accommodation to its executives or even allows
self-leased accornmodation to its executives, the Board of Directors must fix the plinth area and
the ceilings in terms of value whrch such area might attract keeping in vrew the categories of the
crties the executrves%re posted r.e. A, tl, C & unclassified ctties.

4. l he administrative Minislries are requested to bring the above to the notice of the Central PSUs under
their charge and the PSUs may be advised 1o follow the alrove scrupulously. The adminrstrative Ministries may
{ike to monitor the implementation of the above conditions in their periodrc review
