Haryana governor approves bill to reserve 75% of private sector jobs for locals

NEW DELHI: The Haryana governor Satyadeo Narain Arya on Tuesday gave his nod to bill providing 75% reservation to local candidates applying to private sector jobs in the state.

The Haryana assembly had passed the bill last year.

"The Haryana governor today gave his assent to the Bill entailing 75 per cent reservation in the private sector to job seekers from the state. The government will notify it soon," the Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar said.

All jobs with a monthly starting salary of below Rs 50,000 come under the ambit of the Haryana State Employment of Local Candidates Bill, 2020.
