OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject: Terms to be given to Central Government employees, who are awarded Jawaharlal Nehru Fellowship.
The undersigned is directed invite a reference to the Ministry of Finance (Department of Expenditure) O.M. No. F. 4(8)-E.IV(A)/72 dated the 7th March, 1973, according to which Central Government employees, selected for the award of Jawaharlal Nehru Fellowship, are granted study leave for the entire period of the Fellowship and are in addition entitled to leave salary, the D.A., C.C.A. & H.R.A. subject to the satisfaction of the conditions specified in the O.M. When these orders were issued, leave salary admissible during study leave was as on half pay leave, subject to a maximum of Rs. 750/-p.m. Since 1.11.1973, this restriction was removed and for courses of study in India, the leave salary payable during study leave is equal to the pay without allowances that the employee drew on duty with Government immediately before proceeding on study leave.
Recently, a question has been raised whether in view of the change in the rate of leave salary during study leave in India, any revision of the terms given to Central Government employees selected for the Jawaharlal Nehru Fellowship is called for. The matter has been considered in this Ministry and the President is pleased to decide, in consultation with the C&AG that in supersession of the earlier O.M., the following terms will be given to Central Government employees who are awarded Jawaharlal Nehru Fellowship in future in relaxation of Rule 51, 57 and 59 of Central Civil Services (Leave) Rules, 1972:
1) They will be granted study leave for the entire period of the Fellowship;
2) They will be entitled to the benefits admissible to them in accordance with the Fellowship and in addition, entitled to draw leave salary only (without allowances) equal to the pay that they drew while on duty with the Government immediately before proceeding on leave.
3) Where considered necessary, the official may be allowed during the period of the Fellowship, the continued use of the facility of the residential telephone officially allotted to him.
