The Rajasthan (Regulation of Appointments to Public Services and Rationalisation of Staff) Act, 1999
This Act regulates hiring, post creation, and salary revisions within public services in Rajasthan, which include state departments, local bodies, government companies, and funded institutions. It strictly prohibits daily wage employment, limits temporary appointments, and bans unauthorized posts to prevent backdoor entry into government offices. It matters because it ensures proper fiscal accountability, protects the formal recruitment process, and blocks temporary workers from claiming permanent status. Officials who bypass these rules face disciplinary action, personal financial liability for any unauthorized salaries paid, and potential jail sentences, thereby safeguarding public funds and upholding integrity across all of the state's administrative agencies.
