Discrimination

One of the CPSE has a scheme by which they allow Retention of house ( Corporation Owned/ leased/ or Own arrangement of the officer) at previous place of posting on transfer to new place of posting. In case if its own arrangement by the officer, HRA is paid, This is allowed under compelling reasons like Spouse working, Children's education, Aged parents etc. At new place of posting they allot bachelor accommodation. However this is allowed only to married officers. They do not allow this to un married officers if he retains house for aged parents and avails bachelor accommodation at new place such officer will not get HRA. Is it not violation of article 14 of the constitution.

if aged parents are financially dependent on you and come under the definition of family as defined by the CPSE then it can be a case of violation of Art. 14 of the Constiitution of India.  You deserve to be given same treatment as given to other officers in respect of family.
