Dehradun: The process for regularizing employees in Uttarakhand is underway. While the state government has already implemented the revised rules, work is now also progressing on extending the previously decided cut-off date. In this regard, information about the employees is being collected on the instructions of the cabinet sub-committee, to determine how many employees will benefit from the change in the cut-off date and what financial burden it will place on the government.
Regularization process for employees intensifies: The Uttarakhand government has now started collecting information about daily wage, work-charged, contractual, fixed-salary, part-time, and ad-hoc employees in the state. For this purpose, Personnel Secretary Shailesh Bagoli has written to all officers, asking them to provide the information in the prescribed format. Earlier, a decision was taken regarding the regularization of these employees, and some ministers in the cabinet had advocated for extending the cut-off date. A cabinet sub-committee was formed on this basis.
These employees are to be regularized: Earlier, the Dhami government of Uttarakhand had taken a major decision and implemented revised rules for regularization. Under these rules, employees who have worked for 10 years up to a fixed date in the state are to be regularized. In a significant decision, the state government amended the Regularization Rules-2013 and issued the revised Regularization Rules-2025 for daily wage, work-charged, contractual, fixed-salary, part-time, and ad-hoc employees.
Conditions for regularization: The government had issued a notification in this regard. According to the revised rules, daily wage, work-charged, contractual, fixed-salary, part-time, and ad-hoc employees who fulfill other conditions will be eligible for regularization if they have completed at least 10 years of continuous service in that post or an equivalent post as of December 4, 2018. The sub-committee will give its opinion to the government on the cut-off date: Although several cabinet members want to extend this cut-off date to 2025, the sub-committee will now submit its recommendations to the government. Prior to this, the sub-committee has been gathering detailed information about the personnel in order to determine the actual financial burden on the government and to clarify the qualifications of the deployed personnel and the status of their positions within the department.
