This 1997 communication from the Department of Personnel and Training outlines a policy shift regarding the recognition of Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) of Central Government Employees. Previously, neither newly formed nor defunct RWAs were being granted recognition. However, a review of the policy has led to a decision to now recognize new associations and revive recognition for those that had lapsed, particularly due to funding issues. The document details the requirements for associations seeking recognition, including a minimum membership of 200, registration certificates, a list of the managing committee, adoption of a model constitution, and confirmation that members are not part of other associations in the same area.

Subject – Recognition of newly formed and revival of recognition of defunct Associations – Reg.
Sir,
I am directed to say that as per decision taken earlier, no newly formed or defunct RWAS were being accorded recognition. On a review of this policy, it has now been decided to accord recognition to newly formed Association and also to revive the recognition of those Association who had become defunct due to various reasons including non-receipt of grant-in-aid from this Deptt.
In view of the above decision, all such Associations of Central Government Employees as are interested for recognition of their Association by this Department may make a formal request in this regard along with the following documents and the recommendation of the Area Welfare Officer concerned:-
- List of members enrolled as on 31.3. (There should be a minimum of 200 members in the Association)
- A copy of the registration (of Association) certificate.
- A list of present managing Committee.
- A certificate regarding adoption of the Model Contribution of the Residents Welfare Association as framed by this Deptt. duly approved by the General Body of Association.
- A certificate stating there-in that the members enrolled in the Association are not members of any other Association functioning in the same area/locality.
Yours faithfully,
(J.B. Bhatia)
Under Secretary to the Govt. of India.
