The Himachal Pradesh government dissolved the HPSSC on February 21, 2023. Its functioning was suspended in December 2022 after a matter of paper leak was detected.

The JOA (IT) exam conducted by the HPSSC scheduled for December 25, 2022 was cancelled after the paper leak was unearthed when the vigilance arrested a senior assistant of HPSSC Uma Azad with a solved question paper and Rs 2.5 lakh in cash on December 23, 2022.
