Cir. Memo. No. 35326-C/7/748/F.R.-I/74-1, Dt. 17-7-1974
Earned Leave - G.O.Ms.No. 172, Finance, Dt. 17-7-1974 - Certain clarifications.

Ref. :--
G.O. Ms. No. 172, Fin. & Plg. (FR-I), Dept., Dt. 17-7-1974.

Order:-
The following doubts have been raised in connection with the grant of surrendered leave with reference to the G.O. cited :
(1) Whether the claim for surrendered leave-salary should be preferred after a lapse of 15 days after the date of sanction according as the period of surrendered leave is 15 days or 30 days.

(2) Whether the surrendered leave-salary can be drawn in advance in terms of para (ix) of G.O. No. 238, Dt. 13-8-1969.

(3) Whether with reference to para 6 of the G.O. fourth cited, the surrendered leave can be sanctioned before the 1st July, 1974 if the period of 12 months or 24 months from the date of previous surrender was completed before the date.

The following clarifications are issued -

Point 1:- The claim for surrendered leave salary arises on the date of issue of the order permitting surrender of leave and as such can be preferred immediately after the issue of the order.

Point 2:- Since the surrender of leave is no longer linked with the availment of leave the question of payment of surrendered leave-salary in advance along with leave-salary does not arise.

Point 3:- As the G.O. cited has no retrospective effect, the actual surrender of leave under this order will be permissible only from 1st July. 1974.
