Ans : Whatever you earn in the calendar year, can be availed in the subsequent year subject to prior approval by 15 days, thrice in a year and minimum 3 days in single instance.
2) policy on carry over of unutilized leave days
Ans : Unutilised EL can be carry forwarded subject to maximum 30 days or as provided in certified standing ordered.
3) policy on encashment of unutilized leave days.
