Encashment of LTC & Earned Leave – Clarification by Dopt
Regarding the encashment of earned leave along with LTC, the DoPT’s O.M. No. 31011/4/2008-Estt.(A), dated 23rd September, 2008 has allowed it. However, there have been inquiries about how many times a Government servant can avail of this encashment within the same block. To clarify, Government servants who are governed by the CCS (Leave) Rules, 1972 and are entitled to avail of LTC may encash earned leave up to 10 days when availing both types of LTCs, namely ‘Hometown’ and ‘Anywhere in India’. But, if the same LTC is being availed of by the Government servant and their family members separately in a block year, encashment of leave will be restricted to only one occasion.
