Chandigarh, July 31, 2026: The CBI has made fresh allegations in the Haryana IAS scam case. The agency claims that a Haryana IAS officer received monetary benefits from the alleged mastermind of a Rs 657-crore bank scam.
The CBI also questioned the officer’s role in approving a new bank account. The account was opened for the Haryana School Shiksha Pariyojna Parishad (HSSPP). The agency linked the account to a Rs 100-crore fund transfer.
Haryana IAS Scam: CBI Makes Key Allegations
The officer served as Principal Secretary, School Education, from December 10, 2024, to June 16, 2025.
According to the CBI, IDFC First Bank’s Sector 32 branch in Chandigarh submitted a proposal on December 17, 2024. The proposal sought approval to open an HSSPP account.
The officer reportedly marked the proposal on December 19. He then sent it to the concerned subordinate officer. The account received approval on December 31, 2024.
The CBI alleges that the officer also approved the transfer of Rs 100 crore. The money was moved from a Kotak Mahindra Bank account to the new IDFC First Bank account.
CBI Questions the Bank Account Process
The agency claims that officials did not follow the required competitive process. According to the CBI, authorities did not invite quotations from empanelled banks.
The agency also said that officials did not compare interest rates. The proposal reportedly moved forward because IDFC First Bank offered a higher interest rate.
The CBI further alleged that the officer pressured subordinate officials to complete the account-opening process. Investigators are examining the alleged financial links connected to the case.
Investigation Remains Underway
The Haryana IAS scam investigation is continuing. The CBI’s claims are part of its submissions before the court.
The allegations have not yet been established through a final judicial ruling. The case remains subject to investigation and court proceedings.
