Railway Services (Liberalised Leave) Rules, 1949
Part – 2B
General Conditions
506. Commencement and end of leave:
Leave ordinarily begins on the day on which transfer of charge is effected and ends on the day preceding that in which charge is resumed.
507. Combination of different kinds of leave:
Except as provided otherwise under these rules, any kind of leave under these rules may be granted in combination with or in continuation of any other kind of leave.
Explanation: Casual leave which is not recognised as leave under these rules shall not be combined with any other kind of leave admissible under these rules. There is, however, no objection to Casual Leave being followed by quarantine leave.
For Casual Leave please refer Master Circular No. 15/90 circulated vide Railway Board's letter No. E(G) 90 LE 1-2 dated 24/01/1991 and Supplementary Circulars to M.C. No. 15/90. For Special Casual Leave please refer Master Circular No. 10/90 circulated vide Railway Board's letter No. E(G) 90 LE 1-5 dated 22/05/1991 and Supplementary Circulars to M.C. No. 10/90.
508. Combination of holidays with leave:
(1) When the date immediately preceding the day on which a railway servant's leave begins or immediately following the day on which his leave expires is a holiday or one of a series of holidays, the railway servant may leave his station at the close of the day before, or return to it one the day following such holidays, provided that -
(a) his transfer or assumption of charge does not involve the handing or taking over of securities or moneys other than a permanent advance;
(b) his early departure does not entail a correspondingly early transfer from another station of a railway servant to perform his duties; and
(c) the delay in his return does not involve a corresponding delay in the transfer to another station of the railway servant who was performing his duties during his absence or in the discharge from railway service of a person temporarily appointed to it.
(2) In the case of leave on medical certificate-
(a) when a Railway Servant is certified medically unwell to attend office, holiday(s) if any immediately preceding the day he is so certified shall be allowed automatically to be prefixed to leave and the holiday(s) if any immediately succeeding the day he is so certified (including that day) shall be treated as part of the leave; and
(b) when a Railway servant is certified medically fit for joining duty, holiday(s) if any, succeeding the day he is so certified shall be allowed automatically be allowed to be suffixed to the leave and holiday(s), if any, preceding the day he is so certified (including that day) shall be treated as part of the leave.
(3) On condition that the departing railway servant remains responsible for the moneys in charge, the Competent Authority may in any particular case waive the application of clause (a) of proviso to the sub-rule (1)
(4) Unless the authority competent to grant leave in any case otherwise directs-
(a) If holidays are prefixed to leave, the leave and any consequent rearrangement of pay and allowances take effect from the day after the holiday; and
(b) If holidays are suffixed to leave, the leave is treated as having terminated and any consequent rearrangement of pay and allowances takes effect from the day on which the leave would have ended if holidays had not been suffixed.
Railway Ministry's Decision: All holidays notified locally by Railway Administrations may be treated as holidays for the purpose of rules 506 and 508. Since the declaration of holidays as recognised holidays rests with the President the lists of holidays should be approved by that Authority.
The above decision does not apply to offices which follow holidays declared by Central and Government or Union Territories. [Railway Ministry's case No. F43/HL(1)]
509. Employment during leave:
A Railway Servant on leave may not take any service or accept any employment without obtaining the previous sanction of-
(a) the President if the proposed service of employment is outside India; and
(b) the authority empowered to appoint him, if in India.
Note: This does not apply to casual literacy work, or to service as an examiner or similar employment; nor does it apply to acceptance of foreign service with the sanction of the competent authority.
510. Maximum amount of continuous leave:
Unless the President, in view of the exceptional circumstances of the case otherwise determines, no Railway servant shall be granted leave of any kind for a continuous period exceeding 5 years.
