    Sir, my increment is due on 01.07.2010, but I am on leave upto 02.07.2010 and I joined back duty on 05.07.2010 (03.07.2010 and 04.07.2010 being Saturday and Sunday). My question is this whether I am treated for entitlement of increment from 03.07.2010 or 05.07.2010

    My spouse who is Central Government employee was on 88 days sanctioned leave of EL & then CCL from 25th Jan to 24th, April 2009. She had applied on 15th, April 2009 for extension of 63 days CCL from 25th, April 2009 to 26th, June 2009. She received “Advisory Note” from office on 04th, May 2009 dated 27th, April 2009 advising her that her application is forwarded to Sanctioning Authority at Head office for the sanction but was advised to join the duties immediately. She again requested thru letter dated 08th, May 2009 her inability of joining duties as her our son was sick due to his eye problem to and has to still under go various competitive exams for engineering admission. After this office did not reply to her and after about two months she received an OM from her office on 26th, June 2009 dated 22nd, June 2009 that why she remained absent from her duty without approval of competent authority. After joining her duties she replied to this OM giving the complete back ground of the family and why she could not join the duties then as our elder son is also handicapped and office did not convey the message properly that her leave was not recommended by her officer and as such the leave can not be granted. It was only the advice that her leave application has been forwarded for approval to sanctioning authority and in the mean time she should join, this was the advice. But she had also replied. Now in the month May 2010 she has received OM from Head office that as she was absent from 25th April 2009 to 26th June 2009 without prior approval so she has been granted HPL instead of CCL and now recovery of pay is being done.
    We would like to know that when the extension of CCL was applied 10days in advance for 63 days CCL, The office and Head office did not inform her during the leave period that her extension of CCL has not been sanctioned and after almost one year they have sanctioned HPL instead of CCL. So whether Sanctioning Authority has a right to change the nature of leave in case of CCL?
