Subject:- Implementation of Government Accommodation Management System (GAMS)- Transmission & Monitoring of License Fee Recoveries.

Sir,

   As you are aware after implementing the e-governance system called Government Accommodation Management System (GAMS), the Directorate of Estates has been unceasingly endeavoring to develop and enlarge the scope of facilities available to the stakeholders through optimum use of information technology aimed at enhancing transparency, efficiency and better delivery of services. Against this objective and also for the fact that the earlier system of reporting of monthly license fee recoveries through floppies, email and paper schedules did not operate successfully, a user-friendly online License Fee Collection & Monitoring System has now been developed as part of GAMS to facilitate the Drawing & Disbursing Officers to communicate their license fee recoveries both past and future, in respect of their occupants of General Pool Residential Accommodation to the Dte. of Estates. The new System allows the DDO to create and maintain a monthly updated Allottee Roster with details of monthly LF Amount to be recovered from each Allottee and send the license fee schedule online (http://eawas.nic.in) to the Directorate of Estates for automatic updation of the Rent Cards and ledgers of the Allottees in real time As soon as such data is sent by the DDOs, it becomes available for viewing on the Website of the Dte. Of Estates (http://estates.nic.in)

   In order to obviate any chances of fraud or manipulation in the case of license fee recoveries being communicated online to the Dte. of Estates in respect of the occupants of General Pool Residential Accommodation through the new License Fee Collection & Monitoring System it has been decided to annex only such License Fee Schedules with the Pay Bills which have been generated through GAMS and are marked “SENT” as the “Schedule Status” on top. So as to provide adequate time and opportunity to the DDOs and their staff to orient themselves to the new License Fee Collection & Monitoring System, the implementation of this decision may please be given effect to only from 1st August, 2007 onwards.

   You are requested to kindly issue necessary instructions to the Pay & Accounts Officers under your control to accept only such pay bills where the License Fee Schedules annexed thereto have been generated through GAMS and are marked “SENT” as the Schedule Status on top with effect from 1st August, 2007 onwards

Yours faithfully,
