PREFACE
Article 309 of the Constitution of India provides that subject to the
provisions of the Constitution, Acts of appropriate Legislature may regulate the
recruitment, and conditions of service of persons appointed to public services and
posts in connection with the affairs of the State, and, until a provision in that behalf is
made by or under an "Act" of the appropriate Legislature, such rules may be framed by
the Governor of the State.
2 Earlier, at the time of framing three Volumes of Punjab Civil Services Rules,
the desirability of framing the "Act" was examined by the then Punjab Government in
consultation with the Government of India and it was observed that from the
promulgation of the Constitution, various sets of rules were framed and revised under
the proviso to Article 309 and brought into conformity with the Constitution. Since the
said proviso empowers the President and the Governor to make rules in the case of
services and posts in connection with the affairs of the Union and of the State
respectively, it was not considered necessary to enact the Act, referred to above.
3. The matter regarding re-writing of all the three Volumes of Punjab Civil
Services Rules has been under active consideration of Haryana Government for last
many years. The Governor of Haryana in exercise of the powers conferred by the
proviso to Article 309 of the Constitution of India, has been pleased to approve the
following seven rules books of Haryana Civil Services Rules to regulate the terms and
conditions of services of the employees of State of Haryana :-

4. Haryana Civil Services (Allowances to Govt. Employees) Rules, 2016
5. Haryana Civil Services (Leave) Rules, 2016
6. Haryana Civil Services (General Provident Fund) Rules, 2016
7. Haryana Civil Services (Pension) Rules, 2016
4. Haryana Civil Services (Govt. Employees’ Conduct) Rules, 2016, Haryana

Civil Services (Punishment & Appeal) Rules, 2016 and Haryana Civil Services
(Compassionate Financial Assistance) Rules, 2016 are being notified separately by the
General Administration Department.

5. Main features of these Rules are as under :-

upto December, 2015 have been incorporated and
redundant/obsolete rules or portion thereof have been deleted.

recorded in writing, not directly attributable to the Government employee; or
(ii) the amount of subsistence allowance may be reduced by a suitable amount,

not exceeding fifty per cent of the subsistence allowance admissible during

months of suspension the competent authority shall review each case in
which the period of suspension is likely to exceed six months and even if it
comes to the conclusion that the rate is not to be altered having regard to all

employment, business, profession or vocation:
Provided that in the case of a Government employee dismissed, removed or

compulsorily retired from service, who is deemed to have been placed or to
continue to be under suspension from the date of such dismissal or removal or
compulsory retirement and who fails to produce such a certificate for any period(s)
during which he is deemed to be placed or to continue to be under suspension, he
shall be entitled to the subsistence allowance and other allowances equal to the

falls short of the amount of subsistence allowance and other allowances that would
otherwise be admissible to him. Where the subsistence allowance and other
allowances admissible during the period of suspension are equal to or less than
those earned by way of any other employment, business, profession or vocation,
nothing shall be paid to him.
87. Pay and allowances on reinstatement after suspension.—
When a Government employee under suspension is reinstated, or would have

been reinstated but for his retirement on superannuation, the authority competent
to order the reinstatement shall consider and make a specific order—
(a) regarding the pay and allowances to be paid to the Government employee
for the period of his absence from duty, occasioned by suspension and/or
dismissal, removal or compulsory retirement ending with his reinstatement
or the date of his retirement on superannuation, as the case may be, and
(b) whether or not the said period shall be treated as a period spent on duty:
Provided that such proportion of such pay and allowances shall not be less
than the subsistence and other allowances admissible under the rules.
Note.― If no order is passed directing that the period of absence be treated as

duty for any specified purpose, the period of absence shall be treated as
‘non-duty’. In such event, the past service (i.e. service rendered before
dismissal removal, compulsory retirement or suspension) shall not be
forfeited.
88. In case penalty of dismissal, removal or compulsory retirement is set

aside.—
(1) Subsistence allowance for the period of deemed suspension or

continued suspension.─

any other directions; or
(ii) declared or rendered void in consequence of or by a decision of a court of

law and the punishing authority, on a consideration of the circumstances of
the case, decides to hold a further inquiry against him on the allegations on
which the penalty of dismissal, removal or compulsory retirement was
originally imposed,

and from the date of the original order of dismissal, removal or compulsory
retirement and shall remain in force until further orders and he shall be

employee for the above said period and reasons of absence from duty;
and
(b) whether or not the said period shall be treated as a period spent on
duty.
Note 1.─ Where a Government employee is prosecuted for commission of

defalcation of public funds and fabrication of records and said prosecution
culminates into acquittal, he cannot be made entitled to reinstatement with
grant of all consequential benefits alongwith back wages etc. as a matter of
course, if the conduct alleged is the foundation for prosecution, though it may
end in acquittal due to lack of sufficient evidence. In such a case, unless the
selfsame conduct was subject of charge and on trial the acquittal was
recorded on a positive finding that the accused did not commit the offence at
all or the acquittal is not on a benefit of doubt given, it shall be open to the
competent authority to enquire into the misconduct and take appropriate
action thereon. Even otherwise, the competent authority may, on
reinstatement after following the principles of natural justice, pass
appropriate order including treating suspension period as non-duty and when
the suspension period pending trial of such an employee is so treated to be
as non-duty, he shall not be entitled to the consequential benefits i.e. not
entitled to be treated as on duty from the date of suspension till the date of
the acquittal for the purpose of computation of pensionary benefits etc.
Note 2.─ On re-instatement after removal, dismissal or compulsory retirement from

service, the date of re-instatement shall be the date on which he assumes
charge of his post.
Note 3.─ If no order is passed directing that the period of absence be treated as
duty for any specified purpose, the period of absence shall be treated as
‘non-duty’. In such event, the past service (i.e. service rendered before
dismissal removal, compulsory retirement or suspension) shall not be
forfeited.
89. Pay and allowances in case of fully exoneration.—
Where the competent authority is of the opinion that the Government employee
has been fully exonerated or, in the case of suspension, that it was wholly
unjustified, the Government employee shall be given the full pay and allowances to
which he shall have been entitled, had he not been dismissed, removed,
compulsorily retired or suspended, as the case may be. The payment of
allowances shall be subject to all other conditions under which such allowances
are admissible. The period of absence from duty shall also be treated as a period
spent on duty for all purposes.
Note 1.─ As this rule is absolute, the law of limitation need not be invoked at the
time of paying the arrears of pay and allowances for the period from the date
of dismissal/removal/compulsory retirement/suspension to the date of
reinstatement in respect of cases where the pay and allowances are
regulated on reinstatement in accordance with the provisions contained in
this Chapter.
Note 2.— Where a Government employee under suspension is acquitted by a

Court of Law and the order of reinstating him is passed sometime after the
date of acquittal, full pay and allowances shall be paid from the date of
acquittal to the date of re-joining duty.
90. Pay and allowances if not fully exonerated.—
Where the competent authority is of the opinion that the Government employee
has not been fully exonerated, he shall be given such proportion of pay and
allowances as the competent authority may prescribe. The payment of allowances
shall be subject to all other conditions under which such allowances are
admissible. The period of absence from duty shall not be treated as a period spent
on duty unless the competent authority specifically directs that it shall be treated as
duty for any specified purpose.
Note 1.─ If no order is passed to treat the period of absence as duty for any
specified purpose, the period of absence shall be treated as ‘non-duty’. In
such event, the past service (i.e. service rendered before dismissal removal,
compulsory retirement or suspension) shall not be forfeited.
Note 2.─ Except as per provision in Note 2 below rule 89, in all other cases on re-
instatement after suspension, the date of re-instatement shall be the date on
which the Government employee assumes charge of his post. For the
intervening period from the date of order of re-instatement to date of
assumption of charge the Government employee shall also be treated as
remained under suspension.
91. Conversion of suspension period as leave of the kind due.—
Where the suspension period is not to be treated as duty by the competent

authority the same may be converted into leave of the kind due if the Government
employee concerned so desire.
Note. 1─ The period of suspension shall not be converted into leave of the kind
due without the consent of the Government employee.
Note 2.─ The period spent under suspension, if converted into leave of the kind
due, the subsistence allowance already received shall be adjusted as per
admissibility of leave salary. If such leave period consists of extraordinary
leave, the subsistence allowance already paid to the Government employee

for the period of extraordinary leave shall be recovered.
Note 3.─ The order of the competent authority regarding conversion of period of
suspension as leave of the kind due is absolute and no sanction from higher
authority would be necessary for the grant of any kind of leave to any extent
at the credit of the Government employee including extraordinary leave. The
period of extraordinary leave shall not be treated as qualifying service for any
purpose, except the suspension period spent under medical treatment, if
any.
92. Certificate before payment of arrear of pay and allowances.—

employment, business, profession or vocation between the date of

however, the emoluments admissible under this rule are equal to or less than
those earned during the employment, nothing shall be paid to the Government
employee.

On reinstatement on appeal or otherwise of a Government employee already

dismissed/removed/compulsory retired from service, he shall be accommodated
against any post which shall be vacant in the same or post of higher pay structure

accommodated against a supernumerary post which shall be created by the
Administrative Department with the concurrence of Finance Department, with the
stipulation that such post shall be abolished on the occurrence of the first vacancy
in that pay structure.
94. Suspension period spent under medical treatment.—
The period spent under medical treatment by a Government employee under

suspension shall be treated as spent under suspension and the subsistence
allowance as admissible under the rules shall be given for that period. On

then the period spent under medical treatment shall be treated as commuted leave
or any other kind of leave due on medical certificate, as the case may be.

post.

allowance that may be granted in accordance with the principles laid down in these
rules) for such period until the final termination of the proceedings taken against
him or until he is released from detention and allowed to rejoin duty, as the case
may be. An adjustment of his allowances for such periods shall thereafter be made
according to the circumstances of the case, the full amount being given only in the
event of the employee being acquitted of blame or (if the proceedings taken
against him were for his arrest for debt), of its being proved that the employee’s
liability arose from circumstances beyond his control or the detention being held by
the competent authority to be unjustified.

issue of a specific order to this effect during the periods when─
(a) he is not actually detained in custody or imprisoned;
(b) detained but released on bail; or
(c) not detained due to anticipatory bail,
if the charge made against him is connected with his position as Government
employee or is likely to embarrass him in the discharge of his duties as such or
involves moral turpitude. However, as soon as a criminal charge is framed by a
court against a Government employee in a case involving moral turpitude,
suspension shall follow automatically.
(2) A Government employee against whom a proceeding for arrest for debt is
pending shall be placed under suspension by the issue of specific order to

Note 2.─ Heads of Departments shall report to Government in each quarter, the
action taken under this rule.
147. Curtailment of notice period of voluntary retirement.—
Where a Government employee seeking retirement under these rules makes a

request in writing to the appointing authority for his retirement before the expiry of
notice of three months giving reason therefor, the appointing authority may
consider such request for the curtailment of the period of notice of three months
on merits and if it is satisfied that the curtailment of the period of notice will not
cause any administrative inconvenience, the appointing authority may relax the
requirement of notice of three months on the condition that the Government
employee shall not apply for commutation of a part of his pension before the
expiry of the period of notice of three months. However, he shall be entitled to
retiring pension, if admissible under the rules, from the next date of his retirement.
148. Refusal of notice of voluntary retirement.—
(1) The request made under this rule may be refused if the Government
employee, who seeks voluntary retirement, is under suspension or judicial
proceedings or departmental proceedings under rule 7 of Haryana Civil
Services (Punishment and Appeal) Rules, 2016 are contemplated or
pending against him and penalty of removal or dismissal from service is
likely to be imposed in his case:
Provided that where the appointing authority does not refuse the
request of voluntary retirement before the expiry of notice period, the
retirement shall become effective from the date of expiry of the said period.
(2) The notice of voluntary retirement shall not be accepted by the appointing
authority if the Government employee does not fulfill the condition of
attaining the minimum age or completion of qualifying service prescribed for
the purpose.
149. Withdrawal of notice of voluntary retirement.—
Notice of voluntary retirement shall not be withdrawn without specific approval of
the appointing authority. The request in this regard made before the date of
intended retirement may be considered by the competent authority irrespective of
the fact that orders of voluntary retirement have been made or not.
150. No weightage upto five years qualifying service in case of voluntary

retirement.—
A Government employee who seeks voluntary retirement under these or any other
rules shall not be entitled to benefit of weightage upto five years for the purpose of
calculation of pension and death-cum-retirement gratuity.
151. Leave during notice period of premature/voluntary retirement.—
A Government employee during the currency of notice period of voluntary or

premature retirement may apply, before the expiry of the notice, for the leave
standing to his credit which may be granted to him to run concurrently with the
period of notice.
Note.— The extraordinary leave is not termed as leave standing to his credit and
therefore, it cannot run concurrently with the period of notice given by him
for seeking voluntary retirement. In case, a Government employee applies
for voluntary retirement while already on extraordinary leave other than on
medical ground, the notice period need not be insisted upon and his request
may be accepted with immediate effect, provided he is clear from vigilance
angle. However, if a Government employee while already on extraordinary
leave on medical ground, applies for voluntary retirement, the notice period,
if any, given may be accepted and he may be allowed to retire after the
expiry of the notice period subject to vigilance clearance.
