Haryana: Starting January 1, 2025, gratuity for state government employees will increase from ₹20 lakh to ₹25 lakh. The cabinet also approved a 10% annual increase in External Development Charges rates.
Haryana Government Enhances Gratuity for Employees
The Haryana government has announced a significant increase in the maximum limit of Death-cum-Retirement Gratuity for state government employees. Effective from January 1, 2025, the gratuity will rise by 25%, moving from ₹20 lakh to ₹25 lakh. This decision aims to provide greater financial security to employees and their families.
Approval from the State Cabinet
This enhancement was approved during a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini. The state cabinet also agreed to a similar 25% increase in gratuity for judicial officers, reinforcing the government’s commitment to supporting its workforce.
Revised External Development Charges Policy
In addition to the gratuity increase, the cabinet has approved a 10% annual increase in External Development Charges (EDC) rates. This revision comes after eight years of stagnant rates, with a consultant set to determine future base EDC rates to ensure fair pricing.
Aadhaar Authentication for HPSC Exams
The cabinet also mandated Aadhaar authentication for candidates applying for Group A and B posts in the Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC) exams. This move aims to enhance the integrity of the recruitment process.
Support for Farmers
In light of recent heavy rains affecting crops, Chief Minister Saini announced provisions for farmers to report damage via the e-reimbursement portal, ensuring timely assistance for those impacted by weather-related losses.
