THE PRESCRIBED LEAVE RULES, 1959 -Note is important to understand better

  1. Note 1 -This rule simply limits the amount of leave that may be granted to Government servants who have reached or are about to reach the date on which they are require to retire. The kind of leave and the salary are determined not by this rule, but by the generals rules in rules 3 and 7.
  2. Note 1 -This rule simply limits the amount of leave that may be granted to Government servants who have reached or are about to reach the date on which they are require to retire. The kind of leave and the salary are determined not by this rule, but by the generals rules in rules 3 and 7.
  3. Note 3- The period of four months mentioned in this rule includes any period of vacation with which leave is combined.
  4. Note 4- A deduction should be made under sub-rule (2) on account of vacation enjoined.
  5. Note 5- This rule does not operate in the case a clerical Government servant between the ages of 55 and 60 or in the case of a member of the lower subordinate service between the ages of 60 and 65, unless and order is passed requiring him to retire.
  6. Note 6- The leave earned by the period of duty intervening between the refusal of leave pending retirement and the date of compulsory retirement is merged in the common pool in the leave account and forms an indistinguishable part of the total leave at credit the whole of which, with the exception only of the net amount of leave refused, lapses under clause (1) of rule 10 on the date of compulsory retirement. The grant of any leave between the date from which the “refusal of leave” took effect and the date of superannuation should therefore, be held to be a grant of leave against the amount originally refused. The amount of leave admissible under clause (1) after superannuation in such a case is, therefore, the amount of leave originally refused minus the amount of the “post-refusal” leave enjoined; and this difference is subject to a maximum of four months. The principle applies equally to leave available under clause (2) including that earned in respect of duty during a period of refused leave.
