Corruption in Govt Accomodation subletting
There was a big news item yesterday regarding subletting by Govt Servants. Govt of India is well aware of the problem. It was reported that Ministry of UD received as many as 3000 complaints last year. Same is the condition with houses alloted by Govt of Delhi, MCD and NDMC. It is a huge revenue loss to Govt who is spending huge amount of tax payers money to built new houses to tide over the waiting lists.
Rather than constructing new houses , the very first step should be to dismiss the official found subletting, get the house vacated. The best way is to get a survey conducted by a independent agency , preferably a private survey agency appointed thru a transparent tendering process. Or even better would be if maintainance is handed over to a independent agency thru tendering. This company will be whole and sole responsible for maintainance and reporting of any subletting. There should be firm penalty clause laid down in the tender. This will better the maintainance as save on CPWD /PWD expenditure on existing poor quality of maintainance.
NDMC last year came up with 2 innovative ideas. The complainant of a subleted house gets the house , if he is entitled . Secondly market rent is deducted from the very first day of allotment , if the allotee is found to have subletted. It had a huge impact on reducing the wait list.
This is the most common type of corruption which can be tackled easily. more
