OD Facility to attend APPSC Departmental Tests On Duty for Dept TestsFR 9(6) sub-clause (b)(iii)

The Subsidiary Rules under Rule 9 (6) sub-clause (b)(iii) of Part-I Chapter-II of AP Fundamental Rules and Subsidiary Rules is as follows:

 2. The number of days actually required by a Government servant for proceeding to and returning from the station at which an obligatory departmental examination or an optional departmental examination which he is permitted to attend is held will be treated as a period of duty in addition to the day or days of examination. The concession shall not be granted more than twice for the optional examination.

Here we should note that as now-a-days it takes only hours of journey, as these departmental tests are conducted in every district headquarters, only the examination day can be treated as period of duty. For that, the concerned applicant has to apply to the leave sanctioning authority along with the Xerox copy of Hall Ticket for sanction of OD facility on the examination day.
