This new rule, outlined in an office memorandum on February 13, reinforces the Chief Secretary’s role as the competent authority for sanctioning all types of leave, including Casual Leave (CL), Earned Leave (EL), Child Care Leave (CCL), Commuted Leave, Half Pay Leave, Maternity Leave, and Paternity Leave. Additionally, IAS officers must seek permission before leaving their designated headquarters.
