Chandigarh: During the special session of the Haryana Legislative Assembly, the government took a major step in the interest of employees by passing the Haryana Clerical Services (Recruitment and Conditions of Service) Bill, 2026.The Bill, presented by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini was approved by the House.
Speaking in the Assembly, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said that the Bill will make the promotion process for Group D (fourth-class) employees simpler, faster, and more transparent.
He stated that in 2018, through the Haryana Group D Employees (Recruitment and Conditions of Service) Act, 2018, a common cadre system was implemented for Group D employees, which enabled equal promotion opportunities for fourth-class employees in the field cadre.
He explained that earlier, due to limited posts, only a small number of employees could get promotion. Additionally, promotion opportunities were restricted within individual departments, which hindered employees’ career growth. Under the new Bill, the promotion quota of Group D employees to clerical posts has been increased from 20% to 30%, allowing a larger number of employees to be promoted.
