It said the new provisions would provide for having required amenities in all public buildings for persons with disabilities, adding “gender commonality” in all specifications has been ensured.

“This will ensure contemporary specifications in future projects and better standards of living for the personnel of the armed forces,” the ministry said in a statement.

“The implementation of Scales of Accommodation — 2022, would be tremendous improvement inbuilt facilities/ infrastructure and specifications commensurate to contemporary requirements,” it said. The ministry said the “scales of accommodation” aimed at optimisation of defence land usage by using multi-storeyed construction and austerity measures by combining of common facilities.

“These would ensure better working and living conditions for the defence personnel including defence civilians. Amenities in all public buildings for persons with disabilities have been introduced and gender commonality in all specifications has been ensured,” the ministry said.

It said these scales are applicable for all three defence services and the Indian Coast Guard. The previous SoA was approved by the government in Oct 2009.
