Office Memorand·u:m
The undersigned is directed to say that the leave terms of the officers appointed on
contract in various posts under the Government are governed by DoPT' s OM
No.12016/3/84-Estt.(L) dated 12.04.1985 which was subsequently amended vide OMs No.
12016/1/90-Estt. (L) dated 05.07.1990, No.12016/2/99-Estt(L) dated 12.07.1999 and No.
12016/5/2009-Estt.(L) dated 31.01.2011.
,~ maximum permissible encashment limit of earned leave upto 240 days and 300 days
respectively. Para 3 of the above OM dated 12.04.1985 prescribed that the total earned
leave for which encashrnent may be allowed together with the earned leave or full pay
leave (or which encashment had been allowed in previous appointments, if any, under the
Government is not more than 180 days which was subsequently increased to 240 days and
300 days vide OMs dated 05.07.1990 and 12.07.1999 respectively.
3. It has been observed that many times the Government appoints officers on contract
for a specified period in public interest keeping in view their professional or
scientific/ technical expertise and this restriction of 300 days may act as a disincentive
especially for those who have highly specialized professional or scientific/technical skills
to join the government in various posts on contract basis for a specified period.
4. Now, it has been decided in consultation with Department of Expenditure that the
officers who are appointed on contract in various posts under the Central Government
will be allowed encashment of earned leave at their credit on the date of termination of
contract, subject to the condition that for each completed year of service put in by him in
the post in- such contract appointment, not more than 10 days benefit of earned leave
encashment shall be permissible. While calculating the encashment of leave in such a
contract appointment, the number of days of leave for which encashment had been
allowed in previous appointment, if any, under the Government shall not be taken into
;()account. The relevant provisions relating to earned Leave encashment as contained in para
~ 1) and 3 of DoPT's OM No.12016/3/84-Estt.(L) dated 12.04.1985 as amended vide OMs
