Finance Dept. O.M. No. 31633 dated 14.08.1989Reduction of Earned Leave for the different kinds of leave availed of by a Government servant during a half-year-Clarification regarding.
Previously, Para (5) stipulated that if a Government servant availed any leave other than Earned Leave (such as Half Pay Leave, Commuted Leave, or Extraordinary Leave) in a half-year, the credit of Earned Leave (EL) at the commencement of the next half-year was reduced by 1/11th of such leave.
In modification of the above rule, it has been decided that the reduction of EL credit will now apply only to Extraordinary Leave (EOL).
- Calculation: Reduced by 1/10th of the period of Extraordinary Leave availed.
- Cap: Reduction is subject to a maximum of 15 days.
- Exemption: There will be no reduction in Earned Leave on account of Half Pay Leave or Commuted Leave.
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.
