Commuted leave not exceeding half the amount of Half Pay leave due may be granted on medical certificate to a permanent Government servant in last grade service subject to the following conditions:
(i) Commuted leave during the entire service shall be limited to a maximum of two hundred and forty days;
(ii) When commuted leave is granted, twice the amount of such leave shall be debited against the half pay leave due;
(iii) The total duration of earned leave and commuted leave taken in conjuction shall not exceed one hundred eighty days
Provided that no commuted leave may be granted under this rule unless the authority competent to sanction leave has reasons to believe that the government servant will return to duty on its expiry.
NOTE: When commuted leave is granted to a Government servant under this rule and when the Government servant 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 to this effect should therefore, be taken from the Government servant whenever commuted leave sanctioned to him. In all cases of resignation and voluntary retirement refund of excess leave should be enforced while in cases where the retirement is compulsorily thrust upon him by reasons of ill-health incapacitating him for further service (or in public interest) [or when he dies before resuming his duty] no refund should be enforced.
