The Haryana Chief Secretary has directed that all the Heads of Departments, Divisional Commissioners and Deputy Commissioner, Panchkula will take action at their own level in all those cases related to Common Cadre Group-D employees, in which they are self-competent as per the Haryana Civil Services Rules, 2016.

It is worth noting that the Common Cadre Group-D employees recruited under Advertisement 01/2023 have been appointed in various departments, Divisional Commissioner Offices and the office of Deputy Commissioner, Panchkula. It has been observed that the cases related to leave, allowances, medical reimbursement, pay fixation etc. of these Common Cadre Group-D employees are still being sent to the Directorate of Human Resource Development for decision or further necessary action.

This is causing unnecessary delay in the settlement of these cases. However, the Heads of Departments, Divisional Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner, Panchkula are capable of taking decisions on their own in these cases. However, if in any case the Director, HRD Department is the competent authority, then clear proposal with recommendation or comments and detailed facts of the case may be sent only after obtaining comments of SAS cadre officer (if required).
