Overstaying in government accommodation will attract higher rents with the rate increasing every month till the house is vacated.
“Damages” or market rent for the first month of unauthorised occupation of general-pool residential accommodation in various cities will be 40-55 times of the actual rent. The rates will increase in a telescopic manner — 10 per cent, 20 per cent and so on of the rent — from the subsequent month.
The revised rates will apply to all unauthorised occupants as on July 1, 2016 and to those who are subsequently declared unauthorised, an order said.
