Can anybody help me..? During study leave period a public servant is eligible for annual increment or not..? and also eligible for LTC...?
phantomirfan said…
Since study leave is considered as duty leave one should get monetary benefits of annual increments as and when due; not after completion of study leave and joining back.
phantomirfan said…
I was promoted during study leave and was granted annual increments in the old scale with the fact that study is a kind of duty leave and one should get monetary benefits of annual increments as and when due. But the question is, since I have been promoted to the next higher grade, is it advisable to get increments in the old scale?
