Haryana Chief Secretary Directs Verification of Roster Registers for Group ‘A’ and ‘B’ Posts

Chandigarh, April 6: The Haryana Government has issued comprehensive directions to all administrative departments, boards, corporations, and public authorities to prepare, update, and verify roster registers for Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B’ posts to ensure strict implementation of reservation policies for Scheduled Castes (SCs).

According to a communication issued by Chief Secretary Sh. Anurag Rastogi, all departments have been directed to maintain accurate and updated roster registers and get them duly verified by the Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Backwards Classes Department. The directions reiterate earlier government instructions under which reservation in promotions was extended to SC employees in Group ‘A’ and ‘B’ categories.

It has been clarified that roster points already determined under existing guidelines will remain applicable, both for direct recruitment and promotional benefits.

The government has emphasized that all existing guidelines governing roster management—previously applicable to Group ‘C’ and ‘D’ employees—must be strictly followed while extending reservation benefits in higher categories.

Key principles, including the “replacement theory” and proper application of roster points, are to be adhered to without any deviation.
