Amendment in Encashment of Leave Preparatory to Retirement Punjab

  

1. If, in case of retirement on superannuation *(or voluntary retirement on completion of twenty-six years qualifying service) a civil servant cannot, for reasons of public service be granted leave preparatory to retirement duly applied for insufficient time, he will in lieu thereof, be granted lump-sum leave pay subject to a maximum of three hundred and sixty-five days to leave on full pay.
2. Such leave can be sanctioned partly but the cash compensation shall be admissible for the actual period not exceeding three hundred and sixty-five days.
3. The payment of leave pay may be made to the civil servant either in lump-sum at the time of retirement or may, at his option be drawn by him month-wise.
4. For the purpose of lump-sum payment in lieu of such refused leave, only the “Senior Post Allowance” will be included in “Leave Pay” so admissible.
5. In case a civil servant on leave preparatory to retirement dies before completing three hundred and sixty-five days of such leave, his family shall be entitled to a lump-sum payment equal to the period falling short of three hundred and sixty-five days.
