                        Exemption: There will be no reduction in Earned Leave on account of Half Pay Leave or Commuted Leave.

3. Mid-Year Separation Cases

If a Government servant ceases to be in service during a half-year (due to retirement, resignation, death, etc.), the Earned Leave credit for that period shall be reduced by 1/10th of the EOL availed. If the credit is insufficient, the adjustment will be made from the existing leave account.
