Leave accumulation orders amended and made applicable from 01 Jan 2006

The orders regarding encashment of leave after the 6th CPC were amended vide Govt of India letter dated 12 April 2010 wherein certain changed were effectuated in the rules regarding encashment of accumulated leave. A system of encashment of accumulated leave without linkage to service length was introduced which was also made applicable to Short Service Commissioned Officers, subject to the overall limit of 300 days.

The above letter was however made applicable with effect from 01 Sep 2008 meaning thereby that it was not to apply to those who had retired / released / invalided / discharged prior to the said date, even thought the Department of Personnel and Training on the civil side had made it effective from 01 Jan 2006 by issuing an amendment.

Now the Ministry of Defence has issued a corrigendum dated 18 July 2011 taking back the effective date to 01 Jan 2006. Officers and other ranks who were released from service between 01 Jan 2006 and 31 Aug 2008 may now apply for encashment in light of the above orders, if beneficial.

Thanks to Maj Avi Sud for his persistent efforts in getting this through from the Ministry of Defence.

Great job done Maj Avi Sud for persevering with MoD on this. But should it not have been automatically done by MoD once it was implemented on the civil side by DOPT. Anyway prodding is required at MoD to push through even issues one assumes should be automatic. Thanx too to Maj Navdeep for putting this up in the blog post.
Was just thinking aloud why only Majors take up cudgels on these issues, which crop up from time to time, when even Colonels & Generals are the affected parties ( remember Maj Dhanapalan's rank pay case). Is it the vigour of youth or a fire in their belly as a middle level officer, which gets extinguished by the time one wears red tabs ? Anyway good show Maj Avi Sud. Keep it up.

Ashwini's last two lines is a bitter truth.
Any one any knowledge ,if orders for broadbanding / rounding off the disability percentage to 50%,75%,100%
to pre 1-1-06 retired disability pensioners ( armed forces personnel)
are issued ?

Sir, just wanted to have query that in services CL is discarded and officers are forced to apply for CL. Further, in peace postings when the work load is minimum and there is no emergency, why the number of leaves are restricted. What can be done in such cases.

Respected Sir,
1. I Hav HS Rawal has been retired wef 01 Aug 2011 after completion of normal terms of condition from Army.

2. During my entire service I had surrendered 293 days annual lve for encashment.

3. During the final settlement of accts PAO(OR) AOC had deducted 20 days from my entitlement of lve encashment (i.e 293-20=273) and paid me the amt equal to 273 days instead of 293.

4. The PAO(OR) AOC has informed me that an indl can surrendered maximum 30 days lve (accumation of lve + LTC) in a year, whereas, I had surrendered 30 days annual lve and 10 days LTC during 2010 & 2011. Deprived by the rules I have reported the matter with AOC Records and found eligible as per rules issued of IHQ. But the PAO(OR)AOC not agreed with the rule.

5. Please advise/comments.

With warm regards.

my email is : hsrawal9@gmail.com
