Retention of railway quarter by Railway Staff posted to NHAI on deputation.

The question of allowing the Railway Officers/ Staff on deputation with National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) to retain the Railway Quarters in their occupation 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 Railway personnel who are on deputation with NHAI (a non-Railway PSU) be allowed retention of Railway quarters in their occupation beyond permissible period and up to completion of all phases of National Highways Development Project or NHAI makes its own residential alternative arrangement, whichever event occurs earlier.

2. The NAHI would be required to pay the market rate of license fee (equal to damage rent) to the quarter controlling authority in the lending organisation and charge normal license fee from the personnel retaining Railway accommodation. It would be the responsibility of the borrowing organisation i.e. the NHAI to intimate this office as and when the construction of its own dwelling units is completed.

3. All other conditions stipulated in earlier orders regarding house retention are applicable in toto.

4. This is issued with the concurrence of Finance Directorate of the Ministry of Railways.
