Shah to launch portal for allotment of houses to CAPF, Assam Rifles personnel

Union Home Minister Amit Shah will launch a portal for online registration and allotment of residential accommodation for Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) and Assam Rifles personnel as per a revised policy.

In a statement, the Union Home Ministry said the eAwas portal has been launched to increase the “Housing Satisfaction Ratio (HSR)” among paramilitary personnel and to bring transparency and ensure implementation of the revised policy for allotment of accommodation.

The statement said that the provision of inter-force allotment would result in optimum utilization of available houses and thereby increase HSR.
“The portal has a provision that if a house of a particular force is not allotted for any reason for four months, any CAPF personnel can apply online for the same vacant house.”
