COMMUTTED LEAVE
|
18-B: Commuted leave not exceeding half the
amount of half pay leave due may be granted on medical certificate to a
permanent Government servant in last grade service subject to the following
conditions: - |
(i).Commuted
leave during the entire service shall be limited to a maximum of 2 (one

commuted leave is granted, twice the amount of such leave shall be debited
against the half pay leave due. |
(iii).The
total duration of earned leave and commuted leave taken in conjunction shall
not exceed two hundred and forty days. |
Provided
that no commuted leave may be granted under this rule unless the authority
competent to sanction leave has reasons to believe that Government servant
will return to duty on its expiry. |
Note: When commuted leave is granted to a
Government Servant under this rule and when the Government servant intends to
retire or resign subsequently, the commuted leave should be converted to half
pay leave and the difference between the leave salary in respect of commuted
leave and half pay leave should be recovered from him. An under taking to
this effect should, therefore, be taken from the Government servant whenever
commuted leave is sanctioned to him.
In all cases of resignation and voluntary retirement refund of excess
leave salary should be enforced, while in cases where the retirement is
compulsorily thrust upon him by reasons of ill-health in capacitating him for

LEAVE NOT DUE

retirement leave not due may be granted to a permanent Government servant in
last grade service only on medical certificate for a period not exceeding 180
days during the entire service. Such leave will be debited against the half
pay leave the Government servant may earn subsequently. |
Note
(1): Leave not due should be granted
only if the authority empowered to sanction
leave is satisfied that there is a reasonable prospect of the
Government servant returning to duty on the expiry of the leave and it should
be limited to the half pay leave he is likely to earn thereafter. |
Note
(2): Where a Government servant who has been granted leave not due under this
clause applies for permission to retire voluntarily, the leave not due shall,
if the permission is granted, be cancelled. |
Note
(3): With reference to Note (2), the retirement in such cases shall have
effect from the date on which such leave commenced. An undertaking to this effect should,
therefore, be taken from Government servants who avail of leave not due. The question whether a Government servant
should be called upon to refund the amount of leave salary should be decided
on the merits of each case. E.g. if the retirement is voluntary, refund
should be enforced. If it is
unavoidable by reasons of ill health incapacitating him for further service,
no refund need be insisted upon. |
It has
further been decided that when leave not due is granted to Government servant
under the above rule and he applies for permission to retire voluntarily or
resigns of his won volition at any time after returning to duty, the question
of refund of leave salary in respect of leave not due already availed of
before return to duty shall, to the extent it has not been subsequently wiped
off, be treated in the same way as laid down in the preceding paragraph. |
