e-Awas is the Chandigarh Administration’s digital platform for allotting government housing to eligible employees, replacing what was previously a manual, paperwork-heavy process. Developed by the National Informatics Centre, the portal centralises applications, bidding, and grievance handling in one place. Consequently, government employees eligible for official housing in Chandigarh now rely on this system for nearly every stage of the allotment process. This guide explains how e-Awas works and how to use it.
What Is e-Awas?
e-Awas is the website of the House Allotment Committee of UT Chandigarh, responsible for allotting government houses to eligible employees. The platform was designed to bring transparency and convenience to a process that traditionally involved considerable manual paperwork.
Key Features of the Portal
The portal offers profile management, online participation in monthly house-bidding cycles, grievance redressal for complaints, and real-time updates on allotment lists and administrative notifications. Additionally, a companion mobile app lets eligible employees manage applications and bidding directly from their phones.
How the Bidding Process Works
Eligible employees can view vacant houses listed on the portal and participate in a monthly bidding cycle to secure allotment. As a result, the process has become considerably faster and more transparent compared to the earlier offline system.
Where to Access e-Awas
The main portal is available at eawas.chd.gov.in, with an alternative municipal corporation portal at eawas.mcchandigarh.gov.in. The mobile app is also available on the Google Play Store for Android users.
Who Can Use e-Awas?
The system is intended for Chandigarh Administration and Punjab Government employees eligible for official residential accommodation in the city, rather than the general public seeking private housing.
