Chandigarh, March 17 – Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that on the lines of the Unified Pension Scheme notified by the Government of India on January 24, 2025, the employees of Haryana Government will also be given the benefit of Unified Pension Scheme (UPS).
The Chief Minister, who also holds the portfolio of Finance Minister, shared this information while presenting the budget 2025-26 during the ongoing budget session of the Haryana Vidhan Sabha here today.
He said that under this scheme, a monthly payout of at least Rs. 10,000 will be given, with 30 percent of that amount allocated as a family payout. Both these benefits will be provided after a minimum service of 10 years. Retired employees will receive the full benefit of the payout after 25 years of service. This scheme will benefit approximately 2 lakh employees currently serving in the Haryana Government.
He said that in view of the shortage of government housing in some cities, concrete efforts will be made to provide adequate housing for government employees in every city in the coming years.
On the lines of PM Gati Shakti a new portal will be developed
The Chief Minister said that in the financial year 2025-26, the first priority of the government will be to complete the pending and incomplete works of all the departments by starting them on a war footing. To achieve this, a new portal will soon be created, similar to PM Gatishakti. Through this, continuous review of the progress of these works will be ensured.
The Chief Minister has announced that in the financial year 2025-26, one 4-5 km road in each city and one 10-15 km road in each district will be upgraded to a smart road. Also, one old market in every city will be transformed into a smart market, and one street in each village will be developed into a smart street.
The Chief Minister said that in the budget, a special provision of Rs 5 crore has been made for each MLA for carrying out development works in their respective constituencies during the tenure of this Assembly. This amount will be disbursed in three installments. Each MLA will need to submit a prioritized list of development works totaling Rs 5 crore for their constituency. Based on this list, an amount of Rs 1.5 crore will be released in the first installment, according to the MLA’s priorities. The second installment will be Rs 1.5 crore, and the final installment will be Rs 2 crore. The next installment will be released only after 70 percent of the previous installment has been utilized.
