Staff Side said that they are grateful for the Govt. order dated 5-3-2019 issued by the Dept. of Expenditure on the subject matter. However there is a difficulty in implementing this order, in the Min, of Railways & Defence, as these Ministries have their own residential colonies and it is also mentioned in the ibid order that ‘ wherever feasible’ . This provision may have to be deleted, so that the employees who have vacate the quarters due to less facilities etc., are able to avail HBA from various sources etc. and are entitled for HRA.
