OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Sub: Grant of benefits of Revised Pay
Scales to Government Servants who were on Study Leave on 01-01-1996 - Reg.
- - -
The
undersigned is directed to say that the question of extending the benefit of
Revised Pay Scales to the Government Servants who were on Study leave on or
after 01-01-1996 has been engaging the attention of the Government for some time
past.
2. In the light of several judicial
pronouncements on the subject and keeping in view the facts in mind that the
Study leave is sanctioned to a Government Servant to pursue higher studies in
public interest and also there is a clear-cut demarcation between Study Leave
and other kinds of leaves granting of revised pay benefits during study leave
may not have any implications in respect of other kinds of leave.
3. The matter has been carefully
considered and it has been decided in consultation with Ministry of Finance to
allow benefits of Revised Pay Scales as recommended by the V Central Pay
Commission with effect from 01-01-1996 to all those Government Servants who
were on Study Leave on 01-01-1996.
4. A formal amendment to CCS (Leave)
Rules 1972 will follow
5. In so far as persons serving in the
Indian Audit and accounts Department are concerned, orders will issue after the
concurrence of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
