Since General Pool is not in- tended for allotment to officers who are eligible for departmen- tal pool accommodation, whether owned or hired by the Deptt., it has been decided that the applications for allotment of General Pool accommodation from Defense service officers permanently seconded to Organisations under the Ministry of Defense including the Ministry itself shall not be considered notwithstanding the fact that the office where they are posted is eligible for gener- al pool residential accommodation.
