This Office Memorandum clarifies the encashment of Half Pay Leave (HPL) for central government employees upon superannuation. It references a previous O.M. dated 6.4.1993 and clarifies that the entire HPL balance should be encashed without any limit. A previous inadvertent limitation within the formula for calculating cash payment in lieu of HPL is now removed, aligning with the earlier O.M. dated 6.4.1993. A Hindi version of the memorandum is also enclosed and distributed to all Ministries/Departments of the Government of India.

OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject to the Department of Half Pay Leave to the Central
Government Employees on Superannuation –
Consideration and Implementation of the
Award of Board of Arbitration.
The undersigned is directed to refer to this
Department O.M. No. 14020/1/90-Estt. (L) dated 6.4.1993 on
the subject mentioned above and to clarify that as
specified in para 1 of the said O.M., the entire HPL at
the credit of the Government Servant is to be encashed
without any limit and the formula for calculating the cash
payment in lieu of HPL component mentioned in para 2(111)
of the said O.M. has therefore to be applied accordingly.
Hence, the words “subject to the limits prescribed under
the rule” in the formula included inadvertently may be
treated as deleted in so far as encasement of HPL on
superannuation as per O.M. No. 6.4.1993 is concerned.
Hindi version is enclosed.
