The Haryana Clerical (Recruitment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2026
The Haryana Clerical (Recruitment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2026
This Act establishes a unified framework for the recruitment and service conditions of clerical staff within the Haryana State Government. It applies to new direct recruits, compassionate appointees, and Group-D employees promoted to clerical roles on or after the Act's commencement. By creating a "common cadre," the law standardizes pay, qualifications, probation, and promotion criteria across various government departments. It matters to citizens and employees because it ensures transparency in hiring, sets clear eligibility standards (including computer proficiency), and defines the disciplinary and service rules governing these essential administrative workers, thereby streamlining government operations and ensuring accountability in public service.
