thebalanced.newsHaryana Revises Reservation Rules for Ex-Servicemen and Families in Government Jobs
The Haryana government has issued revised instructions on reservation for ex-servicemen and their families in government jobs, clarifying eligibility criteria and aiming to standardize implementation across departments. The policy defines ex-servicemen broadly, including Territorial Army pensioners and gallantry awardees, while excluding those dismissed for misconduct. It enforces a 'single benefit principle,' stating that once an ex-serviceman secures a government job through reservation, neither they nor their family members can claim further reservation benefits, though age relaxation remains available. The Haryana Sainik and Ardh-Sainik Welfare Department will maintain employment records to ensure compliance.
