The issue of permitting the Railway Officers/Staff posted in the ECR and NWR to retain Railway Quarters at their previous places of posting beyond 31-03-2011 was under consideration of Board. In exercise of its powers to make reasonable relaxations in public interest for a class/group of employees, in all or any of the existing provisions regarding house allotment/retention, the Board (full) has decided that permission for retention of Railway accommodation at the previous place of posting in favour of officers/staff posted to ECR and NWR be continued till 31-03-2012. It has also been decided by the Board that the retention of 08 months (02 months on normal rent & 06 months on special license fee) granted in cases of normal transfer, is also applicable beyond the date up to which the special relaxation is granted.
