A letter has been issued by Chief Secretary Mr. Anurag Rastogi in this regard.

For this, the required indent should be sent to the Director General, Supplies and Disposal as per the policies and instructions of the government. It is necessary to obtain approval from the competent authority before declaring the goods unusable and starting the process of its disposal.
Complete details of surplus and non-essential goods pending for disposal and disposal shall be furnished to the Directorate, Supplies and Disposal, Haryana in the prescribed format.
