This office memorandum details a revision to the rules regarding the encashment of earned leave for officers appointed on contract after retirement under the Central Government. Previously, encashment was restricted to those within two years of retirement. The updated policy now allows encashment even within the first two years, but with a cumulative limit of 300 days for all encashments throughout their government service. This change was made after consultation with the Department of Expenditure and applies to those in the Indian Audit & Accounts Departments after consulting with the C&AG of India. The order is effective immediately and a Hindi version will follow.
