Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Friday unveiled a new policy under which the kin of its deceased employees would be given a government job or the amount of salary the employee would have received till the age of retirement.
In the move that comes ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, he announced that in case a government employee dies before turning 48 years of age, his/her dependent can opt either for a government job or the amount of salary that the employee would have received till the age of 58 years, the age of retirement in the state. In case the employee dies after the age of 48 years, his/her family would get full salary the employee would have received till retirement. Under the Ex-gratia Policy, 2006, 5 per cent of the posts were kept reserved for such case, but under new policy it had been decided to extend this benefit to all cases of ex-gratia. The chief minister was replying to the debate on the Governor's Address in the ongoing budget session of the Haryana Assembly.
