Clarification Regarding Admissibility of LPR on Retiring Pension
Qualifying Service for Encashment
"If in case of retirement on superannuation or voluntary retirement on completion of twenty six years qualifying service a civil servant cannot, for reasons of public service he granted leave preparatory to retirement duly applied for in sufficient time, he will in lieu thereof, be granted equal to initial pay of the pay scale leave pay for the leave refused by the Authority mentioned in Rule, 18 of rules ibid (duly amended vide Notification bearing No.FD.SR-II/2-97/2019 dated 19-09-2025) to him subject to a maximum of three hundred and sixty five days".
In view of the above, attention of the Accountant General Punjab is drawn towards Rule 17(1) of the Revised Leave Rules, 1981 for information and guidance. However, encashment in lieu of L.P.R. in case of voluntary retirement, where qualifying service is less than twenty-six years, is not admissible.
