A civil servant earns leave only on full pay, at 4 days for each calendar month of duty.
There is no maximum limit on how much earned leave can accumulate in the leave account.
Leave on full pay can be taken as leave on half pay: 1 day of full-pay leave is debited for every 2 days of half-pay leave.
LPR can be granted for up to 365 days, subject to leave available, on full pay, half pay, or partly each.
An amendment allows encashment of LPR for 365 days (earlier 180 days).
