Leave Balance for Calculation of Leave Encashment -AG dt 15.03.2021
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Calculation of Leave Encashment
Please refer to your office letter No. DAO/BN/Pay Roll-11/HM/797 dated 08.02.797 dated 08.02.2021 on the subject cited above.
2. As provided in Government of the Punjab Finance Department letter No.FD.SR.III-1-53/83 dated 08.08.1984, the views of your office are hereby confirmed.
Kindly refer to Government of the Punjab, Finance Department Notification No.FD.SR- 11/2-141/2012 Dated 09-09-2013.
Several claims of District Education Authority Bahawalnagar have been received regarding encashment of LPR, for payment, wherein encashment has been claimed of the leave balance available as on date of retirement (whether superannuation or pre- mature retirement having more than 26 years of qualifying service) subject to maximum of 365 days.
This office is of the view that encashment of LPR is admissible against the leave balance available one year back from the date of retirement instead of leave balance on date of retirement. For example if the date of retirement is 31-12-2020 then leave encashment is admissible against the leave balance available on 31-12-2019, subject to a maximum of 365 days.
In the light of above submissions, it is requested that this office may kindly be guided in the matter to avoid any financial anomaly. An early action is requested as the claimants are pressing hard for payment.
