The government on Friday said that the committee constituted under the chairmanship of the Chief Secretary is currently examining all issues related to the regularization of daily wagers, contractual, consolidated, HDF, NYC, and ad-hoc workers across departments.

In a written reply to an unstarred question by MLA Tariq Hameed Karra during the ongoing 4th session of the J&K Legislative Assembly, the government said that the committee, formed through Government Order No. 384-JK(GAD) of 2025 dated March 19, 2025, has been tasked with a comprehensive review of the administrative, legal, and financial aspects of regularization.
“The Committee is undertaking detailed deliberations on the matter. The government will take an appropriate decision on implementing the Committee’s recommendations in accordance with existing rules, procedures, and fiscal prudence,” the government stated.
It further said that the committee is reviewing guidelines issued by the Central Government and relevant court judgments to ensure that any approach adopted remains legally and financially sustainable.
The Committee is also verifying data across departments, including the date of engagement, nature of duties, muster-roll verification, and removal of duplicate or bogus entries.
Any final decision regarding the regularization of daily wagers will be taken after the committee completes its review and submits its recommendations to the government.
