As per the rules for encashment of Earned Leave at the time of availing LTC, the government servant can encash up to 10 days of EL. A key condition is that the balance of Earned Leave at the credit of the government servant should not fall below 30 days *after* taking into account the period of encashment as well as leave being availed of. Therefore, a balance of at least 30 days should be available to the government servant’s credit after these deductions.

The rule for EL encashment during LTC requires a minimum residual balance of 30 days of EL.

The purpose of this condition is to ensure that government servants retain a sufficient balance of earned leave for future needs like medical emergencies or other essential leaves, even after availing leave for travel and encashing a portion of it. The encashment of EL during LTC is allowed for a maximum of 10 days for every LTC availed, subject to a maximum limit of 60 days EL encashed during the entire career (this limit has been revised over time, but the 10-day per LTC and 30-day residual balance conditions are standard).
