Panchkula, Sept. 10 -- Central government employees, who are receiving a scholarship, stipend or remuneration from part-time employment while on Study Leave, will have such amounts adjusted against their payable leave salary whether they pursue their studies in India or abroad, the Centre has clarified.
The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) has clarified the applicability of Rule 56(4) of the Central Civil Services (Leave) Rules, 1972, removing ambiguity over whether the provision also covers Study Leave availed within the country.
In an office Memorandum dated 'September 8', the DoPT said the matter has been examined in light of a clarification received from its Leave and Allowance Division.
