Chandigarh, December 10 — The Haryana Government has issued fresh guidelines regarding the grant of performance/ex-gratia awards and similar benefits to employees of State Public Enterprises (SPEs), bringing greater clarity and uniformity to the process across all undertakings.
In a letter issued by Chief Secretary Sh. Anurag Rastogi, who also holds the charge of Additional Chief Secretary, Finance Department, it is stated that the State Government has observed that several Public Enterprises were seeking approvals for these benefits for multiple past years, leading to inconsistencies in implementation.
To streamline the process, the Government has taken a clear policy decision stating that: “Performance/Ex-gratia Award and other similar benefits shall be allowed only for the preceding year of the current financial year. Accordingly, State Public Enterprises (SPEs) can avail such benefits only for one preceding year up to the next financial year, and no past previous year claims shall be allowed.”
All Managing Directors, Chief Administrators, Chief Executive Officers, and heads of Boards, Corporations, Companies, Cooperative Institutions, and Autonomous Bodies in Haryana have been directed to implement these instructions in letter and spirit.
