23(a)(i) A temporary Government servant in superior service/last grade service is entitled to half pay leave at the rates of 20 days for each completed year of service.
He may avail this leave only on medical certificate and after 20 years of service/One year of service.
He may commute half the amount of half pay leave due, on medical certificate, when commuted leave is granted, twice the amount of such leave shall be debited against the half pay leave due.
The total duration of earned leave and commuted leave taken in conjunction shall not exceed 180 days
Provided that no commuted leave may be granted under this rule unless the authority competent to sanction leave has reason to believe that the Government servant will return to duty on its expiry.
Note: When commuted leave is granted and when he intends to retire or resign subsequently, the commuted leave should be converted to half pay leave and the difference between the leave salary in respect of commuted leave and half pay leave should be recovered from him. An undertaking should, therefore, be taken from the Government servant whenever commuted leave is sanctioned to him. In all cases of resignation and voluntary retirement refund of excess leave salary should be enforced, while in cases where retirement is compulsorily thrust upon him by reasons of ill-health incapacitating him from further service, no refund should be enforced.
