Rule 523 – Leave on Average Pay.
A new sub Rule 523(1)(d) may be inserted below 523(1)(c)

The following procedure for crediting LAP on 1st Jan/ 1st July w.e.f. 1.7.1997 in respect of Railway employees may be adopted:
  1. In case of Railway employees, having at their credit Leave on Average pay of 285 days or less as on 1st January / 1st July of a year, LAP of 15 days or proportionately less in respect of retiring persons or those leaving service during the next half year may continue to be credited to their leave account in advance as at present.
  2. In cases where the Leave on Average Pay at credit as on 1st January/ 1st July is 300 days or less but more than 285 days, credit of LAP for 15 days may be kept separately and first adjusted against any LAP that the Railway servant may take during the ensuing half year and the balance, if any, credited to the LAP account at the close of the half year subject to the ceiling of 300 days. If the LAP taken during the half year is more than 15 days the amount in excess of 15 days will, however, have to be debited to the leave account.
