Last year, the Tamil Nadu government issued an order suspending the annual leave surrender facility of government employees, teachers and those in statutory and constitutional bodies. The suspension order has now been extended for one more year.

Employees can surrender earned leave for 15 days every year and encash it. In view of the Covid-19 pandemic, the state had last year suspended the facility, saying it would help the government save cash outgo. Now, in an order dated May13, the department said: “In view of the second wave of coronavirus, and the need to conserve resources to fight the pandemic, the suspension of periodical surrender of earned leave for encashment for 15 days every year or 30 days every two years, as provided under Rule 7A of Tamil Nadu Leave Rules, 1933 is extended for one more year, till 31.03.2022, to all government employees and teachers.”

The order is applicable to all constitutional, statutory bodies, including corporations, local bodies, companies, institutions and societies, said the order issued by chief secretary V Irai Anbu. TNN
