1. There needs to be different leave criteria for different categories of employees on the basis of their place of posting. For example, employees serving at stations within a radius of 5 - 10 km in their own home states and those serving at stations of 3000 or more km away from their home states can not be equated in the case of Leave. Similarly, there should be a provision for enhanced number of annual leaves to those who serve outside their home states for more than 2 tenures of 3 year periods.This is important in view of the fact that many of the Central government employees leave their aged parents and family at their native places for many reasons and undergo a lot of sacrifices during their service period.
2) Many of the Central government employees working at far away stations retain their families at the native places have to maintain double establishments. This reduces his actual salary and living standards. Hence, such employees deserve to be given additional allowances at par with Deputation Allowance.
