Leave Rule | Government servants may encourage to take leave regularly preferably annually

The leave sanctioning authority may, therefore, encourage Government servants to take leave regularly, preferably annually. In cases where all applications for leave cannot, in the interest of public service, be granted at the same time, the leave sanctioning authority should draw up phased programme for the grant of leave to the applicants by turns with due regard to the principles enunciated.
