What the order says
The official letter issued by Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi says the service of employees on Part-2 sanctioned posts is extended by two more months. The Human Resources Department has directed all departments, boards and public undertakings to implement the order at once.
The tenure of employees deployed through HKRNL has also been extended till 31 December 2026, subject to the Nigam’s existing conditions. The conditions of HKRNL’s memo No. 8018 dated 25 March 2025 continue to apply.
Is this a permanent job now?
No. This is a temporary two-month extension, not regularisation, and it does not change any service conditions. Earlier, in May 2025, the tenure of Part-2 employees was extended till 30 June 2025, also under memo 8018.
For lasting security, the Cabinet had in August 2024 approved the Haryana Contractual Employees (Security of Service) Ordinance, 2024, under which about 1.20 lakh contractual employees who had completed five years of service by 15 August 2024 get service security till the age of 58.

- No application is needed — the extension is automatic.
- Confirm the order copy with your department.
- Pay and other service conditions remain as before.
- For the position after 31 December 2026, wait for the government’s next order.
