New Delhi, the 24th September, 2012

OFFICE MEMORANDOM

Subject: Accumulation of Earned Leave/Leave on Average Pay (LAP) beyound 300 days.

The Undersigned is directed to refer to Ministry of Railways (Railway Board) O.M.No. E(P&A)I-2010/FE-4/2 dated 10.9.2012 on the above subject and to say that proposal therein is not agreed to as the justification given for the same is not satisfactory. When due leave is not even being availed and accumulations are lapsing there does not seem to be any case for further compounding such unavailed accumulations.

Further the Govt. Policy under lying the CCS (Leave) Rules, 1972 is to encourage Government servant to break the monotony of routine work through periodical savvaticals and balancing the same against the demand of public interst & exigencies. Ministry of Railways is requested to revisit their policy of grant of leave, so that the workforce is not denied leave in cases of acute personal needs and also be encouraged for periodic time off.
