2. Instances have come to notice of this Department of Study Leave proposals of AIS officers whose Central Deputation tenure is ending during the period of Study Leave, which causes inconvenience to the members of the All India Services in drawing leave salary.

3. Accordingly, in continuation of procedure provided as per letter dated 14.07.2008, it is decided that while granting the Study Leave in such cases, the salary of the concerned AIS officer till the approved period of Central Deputation shall be borne by the Central Government and for the period beyond Central Deputation, coinciding with the Study Leave period, shall be borne by the respective State Cadre/ Government.

4. In view of the above, the State Cadres/Governments while giving its concurrence/NOC in respect of Study Leave of AIS officers on Central Deputation, shall also affirm that the salary of the concerned officer for the period beyond Central Deputation, coinciding with the Study Leave period, shall be borne by the State Government.

Such combination of 15 days ex-India Study Leave can be taken in parts or in total, either before commencement or after the end of Study Course abroad for pre or post course formalities. Further, such pre/post Study Leave period beyond the academic calendar of the University/ Institute needs to be duly specified while submitting proposals for ex-India Study Leave.

6. This issues with the approval of Competent Authority.

Encl: As above.
