About leaverules.com

leaverules.com is a focused publication on leave entitlements for Central Government employees in India. We cover the CCS (Leave) Rules 1972, the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) Office Memoranda that interpret those rules, and the recent Central Administrative Tribunal, High Court and Supreme Court judgments that shape how leave is sanctioned in practice.

What we cover

Our scope is deliberately narrow: leave. Earned Leave, Half Pay Leave, Casual Leave, Extraordinary Leave, Maternity Leave, Paternity Leave, Child Care Leave, Study Leave, Special Disability Leave, Hospital Leave, Adoption Leave, and the leave-related provisions that govern encashment, accumulation, suspension, and disciplinary proceedings. We pair every rule with the application format an employee actually has to file, the certificates that need to accompany it, and what to do when sanction is delayed or refused.

Editorial team

Anjali Sharma writes on leave entitlements, application formats, and the practical side of getting leave sanctioned. She has tracked the CCS (Leave) Rules and the DoPT Office Memoranda for over a decade.

Sourcing

Every factual claim on leaverules.com is anchored to a primary source: the relevant CCS rule, the controlling DoPT Office Memorandum (cited by date and number), or the named court judgment with its full citation. We do not paraphrase secondary commentary as fact. When a position is contested across courts or has been modified by a later decision, we say so.
