Army Welfare Housing Organisation is a society formed in December 1978 under the Indian Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860. The aim and objective of the Organisation is to construct houses for serving/retired Army personnel and their widows in selected stations throughout the country. Adjutant-General of the Indian Army is the ex-officio chairman of AWHO and the board of governors is entirely constituted of senior army officers. The Organisation claims to function on 'No Profit No Loss' basis but that has been disputed. Serving/Veteran allottees of some projects have dragged the organization into the Court due to non-following the directions of Authorities of the state where the project is situated, delay in handing over and inferior construction.
