-
(i).Commuted leave during the

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

all cases of resignation and voluntary retirement refund of excess leave salary
should be enforced, while in cases where the retirement is compulsorily thrust

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.
