Leave Not Due (LND) Rules - Haryana Civil Services (Leave) Rules, 2016 — **Leave Not Due (LND) Rules – Haryana Civil Services (Leave) Rules, 2016**

Leave not due on half pay can be granted to permanent government employees in Haryana under specific conditions. This leave, which may be for a period not exceeding 360 days during the employee’s entire service, is subject to the following criteria:

Eligibility and Conditions

Medical Certificate Required: Employees must provide a medical certificate to qualify for leave not due.
Prospect of Return: The granting authority must be satisfied that there is a reasonable prospect of the employee returning to duty after the leave expires.
Limitations on Leave: Leave not due is limited to the amount of half pay leave the employee is likely to earn in the future and will be debited against their half pay leave account.

Voluntary Retirement Considerations

When an employee on leave not due applies for voluntary retirement, the effective date of retirement depends on the type of leave taken:

For Private Affairs: Retirement is effective from the commencement date of the leave, and the employee must refund any leave salary drawn during that period.
For Medical Reasons: Retirement takes effect from the date of receipt of the retirement notice, requiring the employee to refund the leave salary drawn from that date onward.

If an employee who has taken leave not due applies for voluntary retirement or resigns after returning to duty, they must refund any leave salary received, adjusted for any half pay leave credited after their return. However, no refund is necessary if retirement is due to ill health, in the event of death, or in cases of premature or compulsory retirement.

Conversion of Leave

It is important to note that leave not due cannot be converted into commuted leave or any other kind of leave, even with a medical certificate.

Authority to Grant Leave

The authority to grant leave not due varies based on employee classification:

Employee Group	Authority	Maximum Leave Duration
Group C and D	Head of Office	Up to 60 days
Any Government employee under their control	Head of Department	Up to 120 days
Any Government employee under their control	Administrative Department	Up to 180 days
