Message : PLEASE DISREGARD EARLIER MESSAGE DUE TO AN ERROR...........Sir, Thanks for your kind reply. ……. I request your further clarification in this issue. An example: A person has credit of 2 days COL on 31.10.2005 for his attendance during govt. holiday on 02.10.2005 and 11.10.2005 ……. QUESTION NO. 1. In this situation, whether he can carry those 2 days COL till 01.04.2006 (i.e. six months from the date first worked) or whether those COL expires on 31.12.2005 (calendar year effect)…..QUESTION NO. 2: Whether any restrictions such that only 10 days COL can be availed during the period from 1.6. 2005 to 31.12.2005 (i.e. in half of a calendar year, maximum 10 days COL can be availed)…..…..QUESTION NO.3: Whether COL can be availed for Second Saturday, if worked? Your kind advise is appreciated.......thanks.

2.The question of calendar year does not arise since eligibility of compensatory leave(Col) is six months from the date of such holiday work.

That answers your first question --> He can carry that COL till 01.04.2004 (or may be 31/03/2005 !!!!)

Coming to your second question,

NO restrictions.... For a person whose probation has been declared and service regularised , you can take a maximum of 10 days continous CL, COL, PL, W/o, Govt Holiday . YOu cannot take CL, COL etc for more than 10 continous days. However there is an exception if the 11th day is UNEXPECTEDLY declared an holiday (say floods along cauvery etc) as per G.O No 309, P & AR dated 16.8.93

Coming to your thrid question,

Yes... As per the following rule

1. Revenue dept - District Office Manual - 1973 - Vol I - Page 150 Para 169

2. G.O. Ms No 2218 (Misc) dated 14.12.81

3. Govt. Lr. No 16215/83-1/P & A.R. dated 27.04.83

4. Govt Lr. No 10 P & AR dept dated 28.11.2000

Message : Dear Mr.Vijay,

1.Maximum compensation leave allowed in 20 days in a calendar year. Total availing of compensation Leave(COL) should not exceed 10 days at a time.

2.The question of calendar year does not arise since eligibility of compensatory leave(Col) is six months from the date of such holiday work.

Sir, as far as I know, compensatory leave (COL) could be accumulated for six months from the date of work but total leave shouldn't exceed 20 days on credit at any time. Am I correct? NOW THE QUESTION IS: Whether COL on credit (for.eg.20 days) get lapsed at the end of December 31st or could be carried over for the next calander year with the main restrictions of 6 months from the date worked. In nutshell, whether calander year do any restrictions/nullifying the credit of COL? Request your advise.

Message : dear vijay .you are right .

1.compensatory off leavecan be carried over to the next calender year unlike casual leave which will lapse at the end of december 31st.
2.comp leave can be combined with c.l.but not with a week off either before or after a comp .leave.
3.casual leave can be combined with a week off before or after.
4.the total comp.leave and permission leave availed by an individual should not exceed 20 in a single year.
5.to credit a govt holiday for comp.leave the individual must work full time.8am to 5 pm at phc
6.if the govt holiday is not credited for cop.lave then 1/2 day duty is enough for that day .that is 8am to 1pm enough at phc if u dont credit the govt holiday for comp.leave
