RULINGS
(1) Method of calculation of leave admissible to 'Government servants or promotion from 'last grade' to 'superior' service under Andhra Pradesh Leave Rules, 1933 :-
A Government servant in last grade service may become eligible for leave in accordance with the rules applicable to pe1manent Government servants in superior service. In such a case, the earned leave due to the Government servant should be calculated at 1/22nd of the period spent on duty in last grade service and 1/11th of the period spent on duty in superior service subject to the condition that the maximum is applied on both the cases separately. In other words, the earned leave due to the Government servant in last grade service should first be calculated at 1/22nd of duty and the limit of fifty days applied. The balance of earned leave should then be carried over and added to the account of earned leave admissible from the date on which he became eligible for leave at 1/11th of duty as for other Government servants in superior service, the total amount of earned leave being restricted to [180] days. [Enhanced from 120 days vide G.O.Ms.No.165, Fin., Dt. 17-8-1967]
A non-permanent Government servant, who has held without a break fust a superior post and again alternatively last grade and superior posts, should be allowed leave to the same extent as a person promoted from last grade to superior service.
(2) The condition in Rule 23 should be deemed to be satisfied if the Government servant concerned has served in a post in regular capacity for a total period of two years or one year, as the case may be. Emergency service prior to the date of regularisation, if any, should be ignored, in reckoning the period of service of two years or one year as the case may be.
[Clarification: Temporary employees including emergency service are not eligible for the grant of half pay leave either on Medical Certificate or on private affairs (Rule 23(a)(i) read with Ruling thereunder]. [Memo. No. 20584/302 F.R.f./74-1, Dt. 12-09-1974]

(ii) a certificate from the medical officer in-charge of the sanatorium specifying the period for which leave is recommended should be produced. Extraordinary leave up to twenty-four months may be granted also to temporary Government servant suffering from tuberculosis of any part of the body on the production of certificate by a qualified Tuberculosis Civil Specialist or a Civil Surgeon.

(5) Half pay leave including commuted half pay leave on full pay may be combined with vacation or sandwiched between two periods of vacation]. [G.O.Ms.No. 144, Fin., Dt. 1-6-1968]

The prospect of returning to duty on the expiry of the leave should be assessed on the basis of the certificate given by the appropriate medical authority]. [Memo.
