Audit records has revealed that the Capital Development Authority (CDA) failed to deposit 5 percent rent from 1,083 prime official residences into the federal treasury.
Housing Ministry decided to present the matter before CDA Chairman, while Public Accounts Committee directed Housing Secretary to resolve the issue immediately.
Official documents confirmed State Office abolished all pools except Foreign Office and security agencies, restricting further increases in official residences allocation numbers.
Accommodation Allocation Rules 2002 required withdrawal of residences from institutions funding their colonies, but CDA officers refused to vacate despite clear legal provisions.
Sources stated State Office officials colluded in preventing vacation, forcing thousands of government employees into private housing due to prolonged irregular occupation.
Media reports indicated CDA officers occupied prime residences, while State Office failed to enforce Rule 24 allowing cancellation of allotments and repossession anytime.
Sources further added original allottees retired, with CDA officers transferring allotments to children, while rent collected was retained instead of depositing in FTO office.
On 29 April 2026, DAC meeting decided a committee including Joint Secretary (State) and DG State Office would present findings before CDA Chairman.
The committee resolved to recover 1,083 residences from CDA pool and reallocate them to employees listed on the general waiting list.
