Haryana Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi (IAS:1990:HY)’s rehabilitation after retirement seems imminent as he is considered the strongest contender for the post of the Chief Commissioner of the Haryana Right to Service (RTS) Commission.
The state government has already assigned him the additional charge of the post, pending a regular appointment. A govt order, issued on June 3, placed the RTS Commission under Rastogi’s command with immediate effect.
The post fell vacant after IAS officer T C Gupta (IAS:1987:HY) completed his tenure on May 27, 2026.
The Chief Commissioner holds office for five years or until attaining the age of 65 years. Although Rastogi was originally due to retire on June 30, 2025, he was granted a one-year extension in service, and now he is to retire on June 30 this year.
An expert says Rastogi fulfills every statutory qualification prescribed for the post, and unless he receives another extension in service beyond June 30, his appointment as Chief Commissioner appears a strong possibility.
