CASUAL LEAVE/ RESTRICTED HOLIDAYS/ COMPENSATORY OFF/
SPECIAL CASUAL LEAVE

These are not regular kind of leave and as such is not covered in the
CCS (Leave) Rules, 1972. The absence in these categories may be
either anticipated or not anticipated. It is always advisable to obtain
sanction of leave, unless it is sudden and completely not anticipated.
Casual Leave/ Restricted Holidays/ Compensatory Off/ Special Casual
Leave is governed by executive instructions issued by the Government
from time to time. Main features of these absences:
a) The entitlement in a particular year in respect of Casual Leave is
eight at present. It is the only form of absence that can be availed of
for a half-day.
b) A maximum of two Restricted Holidays (RH) can be availed of by
any Government Servant in a particular calendar year from the list of
RH circulated by the Government.
c) Compensatory Off can be availed of by a Government servant in
lieu of his/her working in a holiday, provided no other financial
incentives are granted (OTA/ Honorarium) for that day. Normally, it
should be availed of within a month and in that case there is no limit
to the number of Compensatory Off. In case it could not be taken
within a month, a Government servant in the subsequent calendar
month could avail of a maximum of two compensatory off, with
special permission from the Joint Secretary in-charge of
Administration/Head of Department.
d) Special Casual Leave is granted for participation of a Government
servant in some National sports/cultural events, Family Planning,
Natural Calamities, Bandh etc.

c) Kind of leave due and applied for cannot be altered by the organisation, except at
the written request of the Government Servant. [AIS R-3]
d) Claim to leave at credit ceases from the date of dismissal or removal or
resignation from Government service. However, technical resignation to take up
appointment against any outside post under the Government of India with prior
permission does not entail any such lapse.
e) Past service of a re-employed pensioner, retired on compensation pension or
invalid pension/gratuity would also be counted towards leave, if such past service
were counted for pension purposes.
f) Leave may be commuted retrospectively into leave of a different kind, which was
due and admissible at the time the leave was sanctioned subject to certain
conditions. However, such commutation cannot be claimed as a matter of right.
The commutation would entail adjustment of leave salary on the basis of leave
finally granted to Government Servant.
g) Any leave may be combined with any other kind of leave. Special Casual Leave
and RH may also be combined with regular leave or causal leave but not with
both.
