Chandigarh :
The Haryana Government has issued fresh instructions for implementing the Haryana Clerical (Recruitment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2026, under which all regular appointments to the post of Clerk will now be made by the Director General, Human Resources Department.
In a communication issued by Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi, all Administrative Secretaries and Heads of Departments were informed that the new provisions came into effect following a notification issued on June 3, 2026.
Under the Act, all regular appointments to clerk posts, including those made through direct recruitment and compassionate grounds, will be processed and finalized by the Director General, Human Resources Department.
The government has also outlined a procedure for compassionate appointments. Such cases will first be examined under the Haryana Civil Services (Compassionate Financial Assistance or Appointment) Rules, 2019. After verification by the concerned HSAS cadre officer and recommendations from the Head of Department, proposals will be forwarded to the Director General for further action in accordance with the new law.
The move is aimed at streamlining the recruitment process and ensuring uniform implementation of clerk appointments across government departments.
