All Postmasters General
Sir / Madam,
It is observed that HSG.I Postmaster is
competent to grant only casual leave to the staff working under him/her. The
applications for grant of other kind of leave to staff are forwarded by him/her
to the Division office for approval. It has been brought to the notice of the
Directorate that at times the said procedure takes time and if such
officials who do not have casual leave left in their accounts want to proceed
on earned leave immediately to some unforeseen circumstances, they face
problems in proceeding on leave at short notice.
2. The matter has been looked into. It has
been decided by the competent authority in the Directorate that in such
pressing circumstances, HSG I Postmasters while recommending earned leave may
relieve the official of his duties in anticipation of grant of leave by the
competent authority, provided :
I. The earned leave applied for by the
individual is not for more than the period of three days.
II. No substitute is required in case the
official proceeds on leave.
III. The leave may be recommended by the HSG I
Postmaster by recording that it is being recommended subject to the
availability of leave in the credit of the applicant.
IV. The official may be relieved after duly
following the procedure of handing/taking over of the charge.
V. If later on the sanctioning authority finds
that the official does not have the leave applied for to his credit he should
obtain the revised application from the individual for the kind of leave he/she
is entitled to at the earliest.
VI. If the official needs earned leave for
more than three days or wants to extend the earned leave beyond three days he
should apply for same well in advance so that it is sanctioned as per the
existing procedure.
Yours faithfully,
-Sd-(B.P.Sridevi)
