Section 11 in Punjab Improvement Trust Leave Rules, 1944
11.
An officer or servant not in permanent employ appointed without interruption of duty substantively to a permanent post will be credited with the earned leave which would have been admissible if his previous duty had been duty as an officer or servant in permanent employ diminished by any earned leave already taken. Leave is not an interruption of duty for purpose of this rule.[12. Half pay leave on private affairs as well as on medical certificate will be earned in the course of service at the following rates for each complete year of service :-(a)twenty days in the case of an officer or servant in superior service; and(b)in the case of a servant in inferior service :(1)fifteen days during the first twenty years of service; and(2)twenty days thereafter.At his option, an officer or servant can have the half pay leave during converted into half the amount of fully pay leave. Such converted leave will be termed "commuted leave" and will be granted on medical certificate, subject to a limit of 180 days during the entire service.Note 1. - Leave on private affairs will be not granted unless the sanctioning authority is satisfied that as far as can be reasonably foreseen, the officer or servant will return to duty.Note 2. - Leave on medical certificate shall be given only on the production of a certificate from a registered practitioner and for a period not exceeding that recommended by such medical practitioner; Provided that in any case to which the sanctioning authority considers it necessary such authority may require a certificate from a Civil Surgeon to be produced.][13. Save in the case of leave preparatory to retirement, leave not due may be granted on medical certificate, subject to a total limit of 180 days during the entire service only if the authority empowered to sanction leave is satisfied that there is a reasonable prospect of the officer or servant returning to duty on the expiry of the leave and earning an equal amount of half pay leave thereafter. This will be debited against the half pay leave which the officer or servant earns subsequently.] [Added by Punjab Government Notification No. 8165-LG(A)-50/2-9817, dated the 31st October, 1950.][14. The combination of earned leave and commuted leave will be limited to 180 days.
