  1. As I am a central Government employee since 1985, at present, I am serving in Ministry of Finance(D/o expenditure), to whom an application for HBA should be submitted for purchasing a flat.

  2. I am central Govt. Group’B’ (gazetted) servant with grade pay of Rs.5400/- I applied for dwelling unit to CGEWHO at Mohali. CGEHO offered me a dwelling unit of type ‘D’ at Mohali Punjab with a cost of Rs. 49.50 lakh. When I applied for permission to deposit first instalment of the dwelling unit my office declined to grant me permission to make the transaction on the plea that the cost of the unit is more then 30 lakh and they are linking the ceiling limit with HBA ceiling which is 30 lakh maximum. My last day for payment is 29.07.2011. If I cancell the unit I shall loose processing fee of Rs. 1000+ fine @ 15%. The appliation was duly forwarde through proper channel. Please guide me.
