CHAPTER IX 

LEAVE 


SECTION 1
EXTENT OF APPLICATION 


61 Unless in any case it be otherwise distinctly provided, the rules in this Chapter apply to all officers to whom these service rules as a whole apply. 
ഒരു കാരണവശാലും ഇത് വ്യക്തമായി നൽകിയിട്ടില്ലെങ്കിൽ, ഈ സേവന നിയമങ്ങൾ മൊത്തത്തിൽ ബാധകമാകുന്ന എല്ലാ ഉദ്യോഗസ്ഥർക്കും ഈ അധ്യായത്തിലെ നിയമങ്ങൾ ബാധകമാണ്.

62 (1) Unless in any case it be otherwise distinctly provided by or under these rules, an officer transferred to a service or post to which these rules apply, from a service or post to which they do not apply, is not ordinarily entitled to leave under these rules in respect of duty performed before such transfer: 

ഒരു കാരണവശാലും ഇത് വ്യക്തമായി ഈ നിയമങ്ങൾ അനുസരിച്ചോ അല്ലാതെയോ നൽകിയിട്ടില്ലെങ്കിൽ, ഈ നിയമങ്ങൾ ബാധകമാകുന്ന ഒരു സേവനത്തിലേക്കോ തസ്തികയിലേക്കോ കൈമാറ്റം ചെയ്യപ്പെടുന്ന ഒരു ഉദ്യോഗസ്ഥന്, അവർ പ്രയോഗിക്കാത്ത ഒരു സേവനത്തിൽ നിന്നോ തസ്തികയിൽ നിന്നോ, ഈ നിയമങ്ങൾക്ക് കീഴിൽ പോകാൻ സാധാരണ അർഹതയില്ല. അത്തരം കൈമാറ്റത്തിന് മുമ്പ് നിർവഹിച്ച ഡ്യൂട്ടി സംബന്ധിച്ച്:

 Provided that in the case of an officer who holds a substantive, officiating or temporary post on the day previous to the one on which these rules come into force, the maximum limit of accumulation of earned leave specified in Rule 78 shall not apply during the period of the first five years from the date of his appointment to the service or from that of the commencement of these rules whichever is later and such an officer may be allowed during the said period of five years to avail himself of the accumulated leave to his credit: 

ഈ നിയമങ്ങൾ പ്രാബല്യത്തിൽ വരുന്നതിന് തലേദിവസം കാര്യമായ, ഔദ്യോഗിക അല്ലെങ്കിൽ താൽക്കാലിക തസ്തിക വഹിക്കുന്ന ഒരു ഉദ്യോഗസ്ഥന്റെ കാര്യത്തിൽ, റൂൾ 78 ൽ വ്യക്തമാക്കിയ സമ്പാദിച്ച അവധി ശേഖരിക്കുന്നതിനുള്ള പരമാവധി പരിധി ഈ കാലയളവിൽ ബാധകമല്ല. സേവനത്തിലേക്ക് നിയമനം ലഭിച്ച തീയതി മുതൽ അല്ലെങ്കിൽ ഈ നിയമങ്ങൾ ആരംഭിച്ചതുവരെയുള്ള ആദ്യ അഞ്ച് വർഷങ്ങളിൽ ഏതാണ് പിന്നീടുള്ളത്, അത്തരം ഒരു ഉദ്യോഗസ്ഥനെ ഈ അഞ്ചുവർഷ കാലയളവിൽ തന്റെ ക്രെഡിറ്റിലേക്ക് സ്വരൂപിച്ച അവധി ലഭിക്കുന്നതിന് അനുവദിക്കാം. :

 Provided further that on the expiry of the said period of five years the leave at the credit of the officer in excess of the normal maximum limit of accumulation of leave laid down in Rule 78 shall lapse: 
ഈ അഞ്ചുവർഷത്തെ കാലാവധി കഴിയുമ്പോൾ, റൂൾ 78 ൽ പറഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്ന അവധി ശേഖരിക്കാനുള്ള സാധാരണ പരമാവധി പരിധിയേക്കാൾ അധികമായി ഉദ്യോഗസ്ഥന്റെ ക്രെഡിറ്റിലുള്ള അവധി അവസാനിക്കും:

 Provided also that he shall not earn leave during that period unless the accumulated leave at his credit falls below 180 days. 
അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ ക്രെഡിറ്റിൽ ശേഖരിച്ച അവധി 180 ദിവസത്തിൽ താഴെയല്ലാതെ ആ കാലയളവിൽ അവധി നേടില്ലെന്നും വ്യവസ്ഥ ചെയ്യുന്നു. 

(2) Subject to the provisions contained in Rule 77(vi), the half pay leave to be carried forward will be the balance of furlough leave or leave on half average pay for which an officer is eligible on the date on which these rules come into force diminished by the leave on medical certificate taken before such date, under the old rules governing him.  റൂൾ‌ 77 (vi) ൽ‌ അടങ്ങിയിരിക്കുന്ന വ്യവസ്ഥകൾ‌ക്ക് വിധേയമായി, മുന്നോട്ട് കൊണ്ടുപോകേണ്ട പകുതി ശമ്പള അവധി ഫാഫ് അവധിയുടെ ബാലൻസ് ആയിരിക്കും അല്ലെങ്കിൽ ഈ നിയമങ്ങൾ‌ പ്രാബല്യത്തിൽ‌ വരുന്ന തീയതിയിൽ‌ ഒരു ഉദ്യോഗസ്ഥന് അർഹതയുള്ള ശരാശരി ശമ്പളത്തിന്റെ പകുതി. അവനെ നിയന്ത്രിക്കുന്ന പഴയ നിയമങ്ങൾ പ്രകാരം, അത്തരം തീയതിക്ക് മുമ്പ് എടുത്ത മെഡിക്കൽ സർട്ടിഫിക്കറ്റിന്റെ അവധി വഴി.

63. (a)   If an officer, who quits the public service on compensation or invalid pension or gratuity, is re-employed and if his gratuity is thereupon refunded or his pension held wholly in abeyance, his past service thereby becoming pensionable on ultimate retirement, he may, at the discretion of the Government and to such extent as the Government may decide, count his former service towards leave. 

(b) An officer who is dismissed or removed from the public service, but is reinstated on appeal or revision, is entitled to count his former service for leave. 

Note 1.-The re-employment of a person who has retired on a superannuation or retiring pension is generally an exceptional and temporary expedient. In such cases, the service of the re-employed pensioner should be regarded as temporary and his leave during the period of re-employment regulated by the rules in Appendix VIII. 

Note 2.- Resignation of public service even though it is followed immediately by re-employment entails forfeiture of past service and constitutes an interruption of duty.  But resignation to take up another appointment does not constitute an interruption. 

SECTION  II 
GENERAL CONDITIONS 


64. The Government may issue orders specifying the authority by whom leave other than *leave without allowances exceeding a period of four months at a time, may be granted.

*[G O(P) No.458/1966/Fin., Dated 13/10/1966] 


67. On condition that the departing officer remains responsible for the money in his charge, a competent authority may declare that proviso (a) under Rule 6 is not applicable to any particular case. 

68. Unless the competent authority in any case otherwise directs

  (a) if holidays are prefixed to leave, the leave and any consequent rearrangement of pay and allowances takes effect from the first day after holidays; and 
  (b) if holidays are affixed to leave, the leave is treated as having terminated on, and any consequent re-arrangement of pay and allowances takes effect from, the day on which the leave would have ended, if holidays had not been affixed.

 The following procedure is prescribed when vacation or gazetted holidays are permitted to be prefixed or affixed to leave :

*Note1.-(i) When they are prefixed to leave, the officer proceeding on leave will report before leaving the station, or if for urgent reasons the leave is granted during vacation or gazetted holidays, as soon as it is granted that he will cease to discharge the duties of his post with effect from the end of vacation or holidays. The relieving officer will then assume the duties of the post at the end of the vacation or holidays in the ordinary course. 

(ii) When a vacation or holidays are affixed to leave, the officiating officer will be relieved in the ordinary way before the vacation, or holidays, and the officer on leave will return at the end of the vacation or holidays, but will be regarded as having assumed the duties of the post with effect from the commencement of the vacation or holidays.

 *Note 2.-(i) When a Government Servant is certified medically unfit to attend office, holiday(s) if any immediately preceding the day he is so certified shall be allowed automatically to be prefixed to leave and the holiday(s) if any immediately succeeding the day he is so certified (including that day) shall be treated as part of the leave; and

 (ii) When a Government Servant is certified medically fit for joining duty, holiday(s) if any, succeeding the day he is so certified (including that day) shall automatically be allowed to be suffixed to the leave, and holiday(s) if any, preceding the day he is so certified shall be treated as part of the leave. 

(iii) Except in cases covered by (i) and (ii) above, transfer of charge certificates should be signed by both the relieved and relieving officers on the day on which charge is transferred.
 The note shall be deemed to have come into force with effect from 26th August 1982. 

Ruling No. 1 
**A restricted holiday enjoyed with the permission of the competent authority shall be treated as holiday for the purpose of this rule. 

Ruling No. 2 
!There is no objection to an officer in a vacation Department being permitted to suffix holiday (s) to leave and also to enjoy the vacation in continuation of the holiday so suffixed to leave. 

69. An officer on leave may not take any service or accept any employment without obtaining the previous sanction of the authority empowered to fill up the post held by him. 
Note.-This rule does not apply to casual literary work, or to service as an examiner or similar employment; nor does it apply to acceptance of foreign service, which is governed by the rules under Chapter XI. 

70. All orders recalling an officer to duty before the expiry of his leave should state whether the return to duty is optional or compulsory.  If the return is optional, the officer is entitled to no concession. But if it is compulsory he is entitled to be treated as on duty from the date on which he starts for the station to which he is ordered, and to draw Travelling Allowance under rules made in this behalf for the journey, but to draw until he joins his post, leave salary only. 

71. No officer who has been granted leave on medical certificate may return to duty without first producing a medical certificate of fitness in the following form from a Medical Officer not below the rank of an Assistant Surgeon or the Director of Indigenous Medicine. 

Signature of applicant 
We, the members of a Medical CommitteeI, Civil Surgeon/Assistant Surgeon of Registered Medical Practitioner of Director of Indigenous Medicine    do hereby certify that I / we have carefully examined ABC of the ………. Department, whose signature is given above and find that he has recovered from his illness and is now fit to resume duties in Government Service. I/we also certify that before arriving at this decision I / we have examined the original medical certificate(s) and statement(s) of the case (or certified copies thereof) on which leave was granted or extended, and have taken these into consideration in arriving at my/our decision. 

Place: …………                                                                   Signature
Date: ………….

 The original medical certificate(s) and statement(s) of the case on which the leave was originally granted or extended shall be produced before the authority asked to issue the above certificate(s). 

Note.-If the officer on leave is not a Gazetted Officer the authority under which the officer will be employed on return from leave may, in its discretion accept a certificate signed by any registered medical practitioner.  For this purpose original certificate(s) of the case should be prepared in duplicate, one copy being retained by the officer concerned. 

72.(1)An officer on leave may not return to duty before the expiry of the period of leave granted to him, unless he is permitted to do so by the authority which granted him leave. 

(2) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-rule (1) an officer on leave preparatory to retirement shall be precluded from withdrawing his request for permission to retire and from returning to duty, save with the consent of the authority empowered to appoint him. 

Note 1.- No formal cancellation of the unexpired portion of leave is necessary when an officer returns to duty before the expiry of his leave. The cancellation will be effected by the Audit Officer in the case of Gazetted Officers and by the Head of office in the case of non- gazetted officers. 


 Ruling 
When the officer proceeds on leave from the post in which he is reemployed and avails of the refused leave during the period of re-employment or after, the leave salary would be same as would have been admissible in the normal course but for re-employment reduced by the amount of pension and/or pension equivalent of gratuity and other retirement benefits. 

Government Decision 
† Initial pay on re-employment should be fixed at the minimum stage of the time-scale of pay prescribed for the post in which an individual is employed. 

In cases where it is felt that the fixation of initial pay of the re-employed officer at the minimum of the time-scale will cause undue hardship, the pay may be fixed at a higher stage by allowing one increment for each year of service which the officer has rendered before retirement in a post not lower than that in which he is re-employed subject however to the proviso to Rule 119, Part III of these rules.
 Effective from 20th June 1964. 

Note 2.-(c) The leave salary of an officer who is permitted during leave preparatory to retirement before attaining the age of superannuation, or during leave under Rule 75 to take up employment under any other Government under a private employer or employment payable from a local fund, will also be restricted during such employment as in (b) above. 

73. *Any kind of leave under these rules may be granted in combination with or in continuation of any other kind of leave except leave under Appendices XII A, XII B and XII C.  However, leave under Appendices XII A and XII C may be granted in combination with or in continuation of the leave under Appendices XII A and XII C. 

This amendment shall be deemed to have come into force with effect from 12th April 1984. 
Ruling 

**The eligibility for leave is determined with reference to the eligibility on the date on which an officer proceeds on leave. 

74. Vacation may be taken in combination with or in continuation of any kind of leave, provided the total duration of vacation and earned leave taken together, whether the earned leave is taken in combination with or in continuation of other leave or not, shall not exceed the amount of earned leave due and admissible to the officer at a time under Rules 78 and 79. 
The combination of earned leave and commuted leave will be limited to 240 days. 

There will be no limit on the half-pay leave that can be availed of at a time on medical certificate or private affairs. This will apply even when such leave is taken preparatory to retirement. 

Government Decision No. 1 
† It is permissible to allow a vacation to intervene between two periods of leave. Similarly vacation may be prefixed or suffixed to leave or both prefixed and suffixed. The only restriction is that the total duration of vacations and earned leave together should not exceed the amount of earned leave due and admissible to the officer under Rules 78 and 79, Part I, Kerala Service Rules and that the duration of the total period of vacation, earned leave and commuted leave taken together shall not exceed 240 days. 

 Government Decision No. 2

Note 2.- Except as provided in Note 1, leave not due when granted should in all cases (subject to the officer’s wishes) be allowed to stand, including cases in which the officer fails to earn it by subsequent duty. 

Government Decision
 *A question has been raised whether in cases where the officers whose credit in half-pay leave account results in a minus balance on 1st November 1959 can be granted a further period of 360 days leave not due under Rule 85, Part I, Kerala Service Rules. This has been examined by Government and they consider that in view of the second proviso to the amendment to clause (vi) of Rule 77, Part I, issued in G.O.(P) 261/Fin., dated 23rd May 1960, the half-pay leave availed of prior to 1st November 1959 in excess of the half-pay leave reckoned under Kerala Service Rules has been wiped off. Therefore such officers should be treated as leaving a nil balance of half-pay leave on 1st November 1959 and they should get the same consideration in regard to the grant of leave not due as in the case of those who had not enjoyed half-pay leave in excess of what is admissible under Kerala Service Rules. The Government accordingly direct that officers whose credit on half-pay leave account results in a ‘nil’ balance on 1st November 1959 consequent on the wiping off of the excess half-pay leave already available shall be eligible for a further period of 360 days, leave not due under Rule 85, Part I, Kerala Service Rules, provided they otherwise satisfy the requirements of the rules. 


86. The provisions of Rules 78, 80, 81, and 83, apply also to an officer not in permanent employ except that in respect of the first year of service the earned leave admissible is 1/22 of the period spent on duty:

 Provided that no earned leave shall be admissible to such an officer in a vacation department in respect of the first year of his service.

SECTION IV 

COMMUTATION OF LEAVE WITH
RETROSPECTIVE EFFECT


89. (i) The authority which granted leave to an officer can commute it retrospectively into leave of a different kind which may be admissible but the officer concerned cannot claim it as a matter of right:
 *Provided that earned leave shall not be commuted into leave of a different kind †except as provided in the Note below Rule 1, Appendix XIIC. 
*Effective from 22nd November 1971.

 †This shall be deemed to have come into force with effect from 12th April 1984.

 ! Provided further that no commutation of leave shall be permitted on expiry of one year from the date of sanction of leave.

 (ii) Commutation of one kind of leave into another automatically carries with it the drawal of arrears of leave salary or recovery of amounts overdrawn. 

 (iii) Commutation of leave without allowances taken during temporary service when no other leave was due, into earned leave on confirmation without interruption of service, by giving retrospective effect to the benefit of Rule 87 would be irregular and not in accordance with the intention of Government. The real intention of Rule 87 is to provide only for a retrospective recalculation of leave at credit on the date of confirmation with a reduction on account of the earned leave already taken. Except for the carry-forward of the recalculated credit on confirmation, leave earned and taken should be a closed chapter at that point and no readjustment of any leave taken is automatically permissible as a consequence of such recalculation. The closed chapter may however properly be re-opened, for instance, to correct a miscalculation of leave earned or taken or to readjust leave earned and taken when confirmation is ordered with retrospective effect or at the discretion of the sanctioning authority to convert leave of any one kind already taken into leave due of any other kind admissible at the time leave was originally taken. 

Government Decision
When confirmation is given retrospectively with effect from a date earlier than the date on which leave was already sanctioned, such leave can be commuted and readjusted as provided in Rule 89 (iii). Such cases do not come within the purview of the ruling under Rule 11. What has changed is only the status of the officer and not the rule in force at the time the leave was sanctioned. The position will be clear from the following illustration:¬

Illustration
 Entry in service of an officer- 1st November 1960.
 Date of his confirmation- 1st November 1961 (orders issued on 1st November 1962). 

** Leave without allowances taken at any time during the period from 1st November 1960 to 31st October 1961 cannot be retrospectively commuted into any other kind of leave. But leave earned and taken after 1st November 1961 can be retrospectively commuted. 

90. In addition to any leave which may be admissible to him, an officer in temporary employ, who contracts tuberculosis and undergoes treatment in a recognised sanatorium or under a qualified T.B Specialist or a Civil Surgeon or who is suffering from leprosy and undergoes treatment in a recognised Leprosy institution or under a Civil Surgeon or a Specialist in Leprosy, recognised as such *or who is suffering from cancer and undergoes treatment in a recognised Cancer Institute or under a Civil Surgeon or a Specialist in cancer or who is suffering from mental disease and undergoes treatment in a recognised Mental Hospital or under a Civil Surgeon or a Specialist in mental disease may be granted leave without pay upto a maximum period of 18 months [including 3 months leave without allowances authorised under Rule 88 (ii) above] on any one occasion subject to the following conditions:¬
  (i) the officer is likely to continue in service till his return to duty;

  (ii) the leave without allowances shall be granted subject to the production of a certificate from the Medical Officer-in-charge of the Sanatorium or qualified T.B. Specialist or a Civil Surgeon * or a Specialist in Leprosy, Cancer or Mental disease as the case may be specifying the period for which leave is recommended; and

 (iii) the medical officer in recommending leave shall bear in mind the provisions of Rule 115. 



90A
.(a) A Government officer, whether gazetted or non gazetted, drawing a basic pay not exceeding 42500 per mensem who is granted leave without allowances  
for the treatment of T.B., *Leprosy, Cancer or Mental disease may be granted an ex-gratia allowance equal to 35 per cent of the basic pay he was drawing immediately before the commencement of the leave, subject to a maximum of 
†  14,875and minimum of †  9915per mensem. **In respect of cases relating to treatment of cancer and mental diseases, the Rule shall be deemed to have come into force with effect from 11th July 1978 and in respect of other cases, with effect form 1st July 1978. 


  (b) The allowance will be admissible only when the officer is not eligible for any other leave with allowances. 

  (c) The allowance will be granted irrespective of whether the patient undergoes treatment as an inpatient or as an outpatient under the direction of a Civil Surgeon.

  (d) The payment of the allowance will be made only on the production of a certificate issued by the Medical Officer-in-charge of the Sanatorium/Hospital or by one not below the rank of a Civil Surgeon to the effect that the patient has been under his treatment for T.B., *Leprosy, Cancer or Mental disease during the period for which the allowance is claimed.

  (e) The allowance in the case of an officer in temporary employ will be limited to a maximum period of 18 months and that in the case of a permanent employ to a maximum period of 36 months in all during his entire service. 

Note 1.- The concession of leave without allowance upto eighteen months will be admissible also to an officer who for want of accommodation in any recognised Sanatorium *or Cancer Institute or Mental Hospital at or near the place of his duty receives treatment at his residence under a recognised *Tuberculosis Specialist, Leprosy Specialist, Cancer Specialist or Mental Disease Specialist and produces a certificate signed by that specialist to the effect that he is under his treatment and that he has reasonable chances of recovery on the expiry of the leave recommended. 

Note 2.-The leave without allowances under this rule will be admissible only to those officers who have been in continuous Government service for a period exceeding one year. 
Note 3.-The lists of recognised *Tuberculosis Institutions, Leprosy Institutions, Cancer Institutions and Mental Hospitals are given in Appendix V. 

Government Decision 
Recoveries on advances such as ‘Onam Advance’, ‘Advance Pay on transfer’, etc., need not be made from the ex-gratia allowance admissible under this rule. Such recoveries may be postponed till such time as the subordinate is fit to rejoin duty or effected from any other amounts payable to the subordinate, otherwise. 

Ruling
The payment of ex-gratia allowance in the case of leave without allowances for treatment of T.B/Leprosy taken in continuation of other kinds of leave may be regulated on the basis of the pay drawn by the officer immediately before the commencement of the combined spell of leave. 


91.Officers with a continuous officiating or temporary service of two years or more, will be granted in addition to any leave which they are eligible for, leave under this rule for obtaining superior qualifications (e.g., B.A. and B.L.), provided, however, that the two years minimum service will not be insisted on in the case of temporary or officiating officers belonging to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Such leave will not, however be given for broken periods but will cover the entire period of the course concerned. In cases of failure, extension of leave will be granted to cover the further period required for the completion of the course of study. 

*Note 1.- [Deleted] 

Note 2.- The term ‘superior qualifications’ occurring in the above rule denotes only such of the qualifications as on acquisition are intended to enhance the usefulness of the Government servant concerned as a member of the service or will improve his prospects in the service of which he is a member. 

Ruling No. 1 
The time limit imposed by Rule 88 (ii) above will not apply to leave for securing higher qualifications granted under this rule. 

Ruling No. 2
 The term “course” occurring in the above rule denotes a course of study/ training covering a specified academic period culminating in a public examination, the success in which will qualify the candidate for a degree/ diploma/certificate or for admission to another course and includes the training at the Pre-examination Training Centres for I.A.S and other All India Service Examinations. 

Government Decision
 Leave under this rule can be sanctioned by the authority competent to sanction eligible leave and leave without allowances. Study leave under Rule 99, Part I, can be sanctioned only by Government. 

91.A **Officers with a continuous officiating or temporary service of 5 years or more may be granted in addition to any leave to which they are eligible for, leave for undergoing Post-graduate Courses in the sphere of their duties which are primarily of benefit to the State, such as Post-graduate Courses for teachers, Engineers and Doctors. The leave shall be granted only with due regard to the usefulness of the higher studies to the public service.
