OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject:- Scheme of
Voluntary Retlrement for Central Government employees.
Attention of all
Ministries/Department is invited to the provisions contained para 3 (xilli) of
Department of Personnel & Training O.M. NO. 25013/7/77-Esst. (A) dated
26.8.1977 and clarification in O.M No. 25013/10/85-Esst. (A) dated 5.7.1985 on
the above subject. It has been laid down in the Office Memoranda referred to above,
that a Government servant giving notice of voluntary retirement may also apply,
before the expiry of the notice, for the leave standing to his credit which may
be granted to him to run concurrently with the notice period except in the Case
of Extra-ordinary Leave as such leave whether on medical ground or on private
affairs can not be termed as leave Standing to the credit of a Government Servant.
The matter has been reviewed and it has been decided to modify the provisions
contained in para 3 (xiii) of O.M No 25013/7/1997-Estt. (A) dated 26.8.1977 and
O.M. No. 25013/10/85-Estt: (A) dated 5.7.1985 as follows:-
Para 3 (xiii) A Government
servant giving notice of voluntary retirement may also apply, before the expiry
of the notice, for the leave standing to hid credit which may be granted t him
to run concurrently with the period of notice. Extra-Ordinary leave is not termed
to his credit and therefore, it cannot run concurrently with the period of
notice given by him for seeking voluntary retlrement. In case, a Government
servant applies for voluntary retirement while already on extra-ordinary leave
other than on medical ground, the notice period need not be insisted upon and
his request may be accepted with immediate effect provided he is clear from
vigilance angle. However, if a Government Servant while already on
extra-ordinary leave on medical ground, applies for voluntary retirement, the
notice period, if any given may be accepted and he may be allowed to retire
after the expiry of the notice period subject to vigilance clearance.
2. In so far a person serving in
the Indian Audit and Accounts department are concerned these orders issue in
consultation with the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
