Chandigarh, July 2 – Taking cognizance of the problems arising regarding Backward Class (Non-Creamy Layer) Certificate in the state, Public Health Engineering and Public Works Minister Sh. Ranbir Gangwa has written a letter to the Chief Secretary of Haryana to issue clear instructions to the officers in this regard.
Delegations of various BC communities of the state had met the Cabinet Minister and told him that their children are facing technical problems through the Saral portal in getting Backward Class Certificate (NCL).
On this, the Cabinet Minister clarified that as per the notification of Haryana Government dated 16th July 2024, salary and agricultural income have been excluded from the income limit for determining the category of Backward Class (NCL). Individuals whose gross income is up to Rs 8 lakh fall in this category.
But, instead of complying with the notification, many Tehsildars and Naib Tehsildars are adding salary or agricultural income to the total income, due to which the real eligible people are facing difficulty in getting the certificate.
He directed to issue clear instructions to all Deputy Commissioners and Tehsildars through the Chief Secretary to ensure that the notification is followed as per the instructions.
He said, “Eligible people should not face any difficulty in getting the certificate. Officers should follow the rules properly and issue certificates to eligible applicants quickly. Negligence in this matter will not be tolerated and action will be taken against those who ignore the rules.”
