What This Means

CCS (Leave) Rule 60 deals with Leave Preparatory to Retirement (LPR) for government servants who are serving with a State Government but are originally employees of the Central Government (on deputation). It essentially outlines the process for granting or refusing LPR in such cases. The rule ensures that the lending authority (the Central Government) has a say in whether the employee can take LPR, considering they are still technically their employee. This is important because the Central Government might have plans for the employee's return or need their expertise.

Practical Example

Mr. Rajesh Kumar, a Section Officer in the Ministry of Finance, is on deputation to the Government of Karnataka. He applies for LPR six months before his intended retirement date. The Karnataka government wants to refuse his LPR because they need him for a crucial project. However, according to Rule 60, they must first seek the concurrence of the Ministry of Finance. If the Ministry of Finance disagrees with the refusal and insists that Mr. Kumar be granted LPR, the Karnataka government must grant it. If Karnataka still needs Mr. Kumar's services, they can re-employ him during his LPR period, and his salary will be adjusted according to Rule 40(6).
