Study Leave Rules for Railway Employees

Study Leave is granted to a Government employee, taking into account the essential needs of public service, to allow them to take part in a specialized course of study related to their duties. These studies will enhance their capabilities as civil servants, and equip them to work alongside other members of the public service. The Government stands to benefit from granting Study Leave, as it allows Government servants with such talents to provide better service. During the duration of Study Leave, the Government servant is entitled to their normal salary and Dearness Allowance, as well as House Rent Allowance. In addition, for courses taken outside of India, Study Allowance may be granted according to the Rules.

2. In this regard, references have been received from various Railways seeking the details of the “Government Loan”, the rate of interest of which is to be considered for charging the interest on the actual amount to be refunded by the Railway servant. Since DoP&T is the nodal Department on CCS(Leave) Rules, the matter was referred to them, who in turn asked M/o Railways to consult D/o Expenditure (M/o Finance).

3. After such due consultation, Board (MF & CRB) have considered the matter and decided as follows :

(i) The ‘Advances’ admissible to Government employees will be taken as ‘Government Loan’ as provided in Rule 14 of the Study Leave Rules contained in Appendix-V of IREC Vol I.

and

(ii) The highest rate of interest prevailing on a specific Advance at the relevant time will be taken as the ‘rate of interest’ for calculating the dues recoverable under Rule 14 of the Study Leave Rules.
