Leave: RBE No.235/1985 – Verification of Leave Accounts

No.E(G)83 LE 1-3, dated 08.08.1985

Sub: Maintenance and verification of leave accounts and qualifying service for pension.

Reference instructions contained in Board’s letters No.E(G) 70 LE 1/4, dated 20.08.1970 and 02.01.1971 wherein it has been provided that at the time of retirement/ termination of service of employees, the scrutiny of leave accounts should be restricted to the last three years of their service in all cases.

Instances have been brought to the Board’s notice that the above instructions are still not being followed strictly on the railways and in a number of cases, the scrutiny of leave account has been extended to a period beyond the limit of 3 years before retirement which has resulted in recovery of overpayments having been made to the employees thus causing hardship to them. Since this is a deliberate decision, it may be reiterated that the scrutiny should be restricted to the last three years of the retiring employees as provided in the instruction referred to above.
