Consequent upon the decisions taken by the Government on the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission relating to encashment of leave in respect of Central Government civilian employees, the President is pleased to decide that in supersession of all earlier orders on the subject, both Earned Leave and Half Pay Leave shall be considered for encashment of leave subject to overall limit of 300 days.
