Thanks for visiting https://railwayrule.com
please see RBE No. 78/2003 for your query. Para 3 of the same reads as “In case at any point of time it transpires that some accommodation is likely to remain vacant/ un-occupied due to lack of demand, it should be made compulsory to submit applications for such types where there is surplus accommodation, and consequently, the employees entitled for such types would not be eligible to draw House Rent Allowance.”
