ZONE WISE DETAILS OF SHORTAGES IN RESIDENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
 Zone wise charts have been prepared highlighting shortage of residential infrastructure in
various types of houses.
 The optimum requirements in the said chart have been worked out by taking the total number of
staff strength entitled to a particular type of house in a Zone and applying the applicable
satisfaction ratios 
TypeVII to TypeIV - 80%

Type III - 60%

Type II - 45%

Type I - 30%..
 The chart broadly highlights the extent of shortages on housing front on each Zone. The actual
shortage and consequential requirement would be worked out on the basis of demand surveys
and availability in each location as well as factoring in the number of officers posted in
Directorates in a particular location.
 In several Zones there is an excess of Quarters in Type II category coupled with equivalent or
more shortages in Type III category of houses. In such places Type II houses are invariably
allotted to officers/staff entitled to Type III houses.
 The number of houses in each Zone have been taken from the Asset Register. The houses,
where categorization has been given as Type A to Type H houses or in any other format have
not been included because of lack of clarity regarding the type of these houses on the grade of
Type I to Type VII.
