Chandigarh, June 25: In a significant administrative restructuring aimed at streamlining the functioning of the Haryana Human Resource Management System (HRMS), the Haryana Government has formally divided ownership of HRMS modules between the Human Resources Department (HRD) and the Finance Department, ending ambiguity over administrative control of the State’s flagship employee management platform.
The decision has been conveyed by Chief Secretary Sh. Anurag Rastogi through a circular issued to all Administrative Secretaries, Heads of Departments, Managing Directors and Chief Administrators of Boards, Corporations and Public Sector Undertakings, Divisional Commissioners, Deputy Commissioners and Registrars of Universities. Issued following a review of the Haryana Human Resource Management System (Administration) Policy, 2024, the circular directs all Administrative Departments, Boards, Corporations, Statutory Bodies, Public Enterprises and Universities to disseminate the revised framework among all concerned officers and ensure its strict compliance in letter and spirit.
Under the revised framework, the Human Resources Department will exclusively administer 19 HRMS modules, covering the entire employee lifecycle—from Annual Confidential Reports (ACRs), service books, transfers, promotions and leave management to disciplinary proceedings, property returns, training, superannuation and voluntary retirement. The Finance Department (Treasuries and Accounts) has been entrusted with five financially sensitive modules, namely Assured Career Progression (ACP), Pay Fixation, Loans and Advances, Salary Generation and the Timescale Module, bringing all pay-related functions under a single authority.
The government has directed that from June 1, 2026, every proposal relating to the creation, modification, upgradation or policy changes in any HRMS module must be routed only through the department designated as the owner of that module. The move effectively decentralises decision-making while fixing departmental accountability for the State’s digital human resource platform.
