New Delhi, March 25 : Haryana Cabinet which met under the chairmanship of Chief Minister, Nayab Singh Saini in Chandigarh today approved the categorization of posts under Group A, B, C, and D in municipalities across the state, following the pattern of other government departments. This categorization will streamline recruitment processes, enhance service equality, and bring about consistency in municipal administration.
With this categorization, municipal posts with Functional Pay Level (FPL) equivalent to Group A and B will now be recruited through the Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC), while those under Group C and D will be filled through the Haryana Staff Selection Commission (HSSC). This move will not only ensure parity between municipal employees and those in other government departments but will also facilitate the application of government instructions, including the reservation in promotion.
Currently, there are 31,533 sanctioned posts across 87 municipalities in the state, including 11 municipal corporations, 23 municipal councils, and 53 municipal committees.
It may be mentioned here that in year 2018, the state government had declared posts with a grade pay of Rs. 6,000 or above as Group A posts in municipal corporations only.
