Meanwhile, the state government has issued instructions to all the departments regarding payment of salaries of newly appointed Group-D employees under the common cadre.
These employees had joined various departments on or after August 28.
In a letter addressed to Chief Secretary Rastogi, it was noted that the salaries for these employees, who joined in compliance with the August 28 posting orders, have not yet been paid from the date of their joining.
After reviewing the matter, the state government has directed that all pending salaries should be paid without delay from the joining date.
These employees were recommended by the Haryana Staff Selection Commission on July 2.
The Chief Secretary also directed all departments to ensure that the details of these employees are entered in the Human Resource Management System portal, as the e-billing system depends on this data for generating pay bills.
Regarding the National Pension Scheme (NPS), the state government clarified that without PRAN (Permanent Retirement Account Number) only two months’ salary can be released.
After this period, it is mandatory to generate PRAN for continued salary disbursement.
