[Inserted vide Railway Board’s letter No.E(P&A)I-2017/CPC/LE-5, dated 01.11.2019 (RBE No. 186/2019) (ACS No.138)]
Railway Ministry’s Decision:
The above provisions are not, however, intended to be so used as in effect to abridge to the employee’s leave entitlements. It is desirable in the interests of efficiency that employees take leave at suitable intervals and return to work keen and refreshed. The leave sanctioning authority should draw a phased programme for the grant of leave to the applicants by turns with due regard to the priority of claims to leave at the same time ensuring for adequate presence of staff so that no dislocation in the normal working of establishment is caused.
