Chandigarh: Haryana govt has made vigilance clearance mandatory for major service-related matters involving Group A and Group B officers to ensure uniform procedures across departments and promote transparent and accountable governance.The instructions, issued by Haryana chief secretary Anurag Rastogi, provide a standardised framework for obtaining vigilance clearance/no objection certificate (NOC) in specified service matters.The revised guidelines have been introduced following a comprehensive review to ensure greater procedural consistency, transparency and timely decision-making across govt departments, boards, corporations and other authorities.Under the new instructions, vigilance clearance will be mandatory in cases relating to pension and superannuation, promotions, issuance of passports to govt employees, deputation, and any other service matter where such clearance is prescribed by the state govt.To ensure timely processing, all departments have been directed to submit proposals in the prescribed proforma, complete in all respects. In superannuation cases, proposals must be submitted at least one year before the date of retirement to avoid delays in processing pensionary benefits.
