Checked 23 September 2026. This is a live cycle. The datesheet and roll numbers for 2026 had not been posted on HIPA’s site on the date above — they appear there first.
Where other pages get this wrong
The 2022 gazette notification (G.S.R.144) is the SAS service rules, not the exam notification.
Commonly published instead: Several pages — including an older page of ours — describe G.S.R.144/Const./Art.309/2022 of 13 December 2022 as the notification under which the SAS exam is held.
G.S.R.144 is the Haryana State Accounts Subordinate (Group C) Service Rules, 2022: the cadre rules for the 523 Section Officer posts. It sets who may be appointed through the exam, but the exam itself is announced each cycle by a separate Finance Department notice. For 2026, that notice is dated 10 July 2026.

Read the notice itself
- Haryana SAS Examination (OB), Part I and Part II — notice of 10.07.2026 (PDF)
- Corrigendum regarding applications for SAS Exam — 30.07.2026 (PDF)
Both are scanned documents. We have not transcribed dates or fees from them, and we would rather send you to the original than print a date we have not checked. The corrigendum concerns applications, so read it together with the notice.
How SAS applications work
What the rules say about applying
- Applications are submitted through your Head of Department, with the required documents and fee, by the date the notice fixes. The Finance Department letter of 2021 says the fee is "as be notified while inviting the application".
- HIPA has also run online application forms on hipaco.in for some SAS papers (SAS-I and the LAD branch of SAS-II in 2024).
- One coaching site gives the fee as Rs 3,000 per part, paid through e-GRAS. We could not confirm that from an official document — check the notice.
Two practical points. Because the application goes through your department, the effective deadline is earlier than the one in the notice — your office has to process and forward it. And because the Treasuries department issued a corrigendum on applications within three weeks of the notice, read the latest corrigendum before you submit.

- Traps that cost marks, listed
| Cycle | Event | Date |
|---|---|---|
| SAS-I (OB) 2024 | Exam postponed (HIPA notice) | 30 Aug 2024 |
| SAS-I (OB) 2024 | Exam held | 11-15 Jan 2025 |
| SAS-I (OB) 2024 | Result, then revised results and corrigenda | 27 Mar 2025 to 26 Sep 2025 |
| SAS-II (OB) 2025 | Conduct of HSAS Part II 2025 | 30 Sep 2025 |
| SAS-II (OB) 2025 | Orders on Part II 2025 and on the 2025 result | 5 Jun 2026 and 9 Jun 2026 |
The pattern is worth noting: the 2024 Part I cycle slipped into January 2025, and its result took six months of corrections to settle. Plan for the notice-to-exam gap to be months, not weeks — which is time to prepare, not wait.
Where each document appears
Two sites, two jobs
- hrtreasuries.gov.in (Treasuries & Accounts Department) — the notice, corrigenda and results. See our guide to its SAS Related Instructions page.
- hipaco.in (HIPA, which conducts the exam) — datesheets, roll numbers, candidate lists, syllabus PDFs, books-allowed lists and instructions to candidates.
Practise on ProSyllabus
Past SAS-I and SAS-II papers (with the official solutions HIPA released for the practical papers), plus topic-wise practice quizzes for both parts, are on the Haryana SAS exam page. The first quiz in each topic is free.
Frequently asked questions
Has the HSAS 2026 notification been released?
Yes. The Finance Department issued "Haryana SAS Examination (Ordinary Branch), Part I and Part II" on 10 July 2026, and a corrigendum regarding applications on 30 July 2026. Both are posted on the Treasuries and Accounts Department’s SAS Related Instructions page.
What is the last date to apply for the Haryana SAS exam 2026?
The date is set in the 10 July 2026 notice as amended by the 30 July corrigendum. Both are scanned PDFs, linked on this page; we have not transcribed a date we could not verify. Remember applications go through your Head of Department, so your office’s internal deadline will be earlier.
When is the Haryana SAS exam 2026?
HIPA had not posted a 2026 datesheet on hipaco.in as of 23 September 2026. The datesheet and roll numbers appear on HIPA’s examination page first.
Who conducts the Haryana SAS exam?
HIPA — the Haryana Institute of Public Administration, Gurugram — conducts the examination. The Finance Department, through the Treasuries and Accounts Department, issues the notice, corrigenda and results.
What is G.S.R.144 of 2022?
The Haryana State Accounts Subordinate (Group C) Service Rules, 2022, notified on 13 December 2022. They are the service rules for Section Officers, including who can be appointed through the SAS exam. They are not the exam notification.
How do I apply for the SAS exam?
Through your Head of Department, with documents and the notified fee, by the date in the notice. HIPA has also used online forms on hipaco.in for some papers. Check the current notice and its corrigendum for this cycle’s method.
