HM Amit Shah to launch “CAPF eAwas” web-portal

HM, Amit Shah has launched the Central Armed Police Forces’ eAwas web-portal to operationalise the revised policy of allotment and bring transparency to the allotment process.

The web-portal will enable online registration and allotment of residential quarters to eligible personnel of CAPFs and Assam Rifles. CAPF has been classified into three major categories: Border Guarding Forces; Forces for Internal Security; and Special Task Force.

The Home Minister said, till now there was such a system in CAPF that only the force for which the houses were built were made available to them, due to which thousands of houses were left vacant. Mr Shah said, vacant accommodation will be available to the personnel of other CAPFs from the eAwas portal. He said, with the efforts of the Modi Government, the housing satisfaction rate which was 33 per cent in 2014 will go up to 73 per cent by 2024.

The Union Home Minister said, to make the transfer process of CAPF personnel more transparent, the Narendra Modi government has created e-transfer software. He said, it is currently being run in ITBP and CISF on an experimental basis and soon it will be available to all.

Ministry of Home Affairs said, increasing the Housing Satisfaction Ratio for CAPFs personnel is one of the priority areas of the Government. In order to operationalise the revised policy of allotment and to also bring transparency to the allotment process, a common web-portal ‘CAPF eAwas’ has been developed. The web-portal will enable online registration and allotment of residential quarters to eligible personnel of CAPFs and Assam Rifles.
