Rule 112 - Leave & Foreign Service | KartavyaDesk

FR/SR

Original Rule Text

F.R. 112. If a Government servant is transferred to foreign service while on leave, he ceases, from the date of such transfer, to be on leave and to draw leave salary.

What This Means

It's important to understand that this rule ensures there's no double payment – you can't be drawing leave salary from the government while simultaneously being employed and compensated by another organization, even if that organization is partially government-owned. The rule aims to maintain financial accountability and prevent any potential misuse of government funds.

Practical Example

If Priya had not accepted the NHB offer, she would have continued her leave and received the full leave salary of ₹50,000. However, because she accepted the foreign service transfer while on leave, F.R. 112 came into effect, ending her leave and associated salary from the government.

Frequently Asked Questions

What constitutes 'foreign service' under F.R. 112?
Foreign service refers to service under an organization that is not directly controlled by the Central or State Government. This often includes Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), autonomous bodies, or international organizations.
Does F.R. 112 apply if I am transferred to another government department while on leave?
No, F.R. 112 specifically applies to transfers to 'foreign service,' meaning an organization not directly under government control. A transfer to another government department would not trigger this rule.
What happens to my unutilized leave balance if I am transferred to foreign service while on leave?
Your unutilized leave balance remains in your account with the parent government department. You may be able to encash it upon retirement or avail it if you return to government service later, subject to the relevant leave rules.
If my transfer to foreign service is later cancelled, will my leave be reinstated?
Potentially, yes. If the transfer order is cancelled before you actually join the foreign service organization, your leave may be reinstated, subject to the approval of the competent authority and the specific circumstances of the case.
Does this rule apply to all types of leave?
Yes, F.R. 112 applies to all types of leave, including earned leave, half-pay leave, and commuted leave.
