1.Resistance by Employers and Employees: Many employers resist HRP as they think that it increases the cost of manpower as trade unions demand for employees based on the plan, more facilities and benefits including training and development. Further, employers feel that HRP is not necessary as candidates will be available as and when required in India due to unemployment situation.
2.Uncertainties : Uncertainties are quite prominent in human resource practices in India due to absenteeism, seasonal employment, labour turnover etc.Further the uncertainties in industrial scene like technological change, marketing conditions also cause uncertainties in human resource management. The uncertainties make the HRP less reliable.
3.Inadequacies of Information System : Information system regarding human resources has not yet fully developed in India industries due to low status given to personnel department and less importance attached to HRP. Further the reliable data and information about the economy, other industries, labour market, trends in human resources, etc. are not available.
