    Study Notes

    Leave Policies

    • Leave Sanction: Leave requests must be formally sanctioned; leave is not presumed. Casual leave exhaustion does not automatically grant earned leave.
    • Earned Leave: Employees must request earned leave at least 15 days in advance, though this can be adjusted for valid reasons. Earned leave accrual is based on service, calculated by completed years.
    • Sick Leave: Accrues at a rate of 30 days (half pay) per completed calendar year, accumulating up to 240 days (half pay). Accrual is based on completed calendar years, not partial years or days. Other leave types don't affect the calculation. Advance sick leave is adjusted against future sick and earned leave. Unusable advance sick leave deductions may be made from terminal pay. Requests for advance sick leave must include detailed documentation and approvals.
    • Maternity Leave: Female employees are eligible, including probationers, with exceptions for employees with three or more living children. Leave is 180 days maximum per confinement, and the spread of prenatal and postnatal periods is at the discretion of the employee. Medical certification is required.
    • Other Types of Leave:
      • Home Guards: Allowances are based on duty, not limited timeframes, but appropriate steps should be taken to ensure work is not hampered. Certificates from Home Guards Authorities are required for this leave type. Similar allowances exist for Territorial Army.
      • Insurance Examinations: A maximum of 15 days per year is allowed for invigilation at insurance examinations.
      • National/International Sports Events: A maximum of 30 days per year for participating in national or international sports events (mountaineering expeditions included). A maximum of 10 days per year is allotted for local sports events.
    • Probationary Period Leave: Leave on loss of pay in the probationary period delays confirmation by the number of leave days.
    • Unauthorized Absence: Not considered extraordinary leave or loss-of-pay leave, even though absence is considered "loss of pay".
    • Loss-of-Pay Leave (LOP): Employees' salaries are proportionately reduced for LOP. PF deductions are calculated proportionally to basic pay; if leave is for a full month, no PF is deducted. Other statutory deductions are prioritized over deductions for external institutions.

    Additional Notes

    • Casual Leave (Probationary): Casual leave during the calendar year of joining is calculated based on days from the date of joining to December 31st.
