UPSC CISF-AC-EXE – 2023
The correct answer is C) Casual leave. As per government rules regarding Leave Travel Concession (LTC), LTC can be availed during Earned Leave (EL) or Half Pay Leave (HPL) or Commuted Leave. Casual Leave (CL) is short-term leave for casual purposes and cannot be combined with LTC.
LTC facility is linked with longer periods of admissible leave such as Earned Leave or Half Pay Leave, and is specifically not admissible during Casual Leave.
Casual Leave does not technically constitute “leave” in the sense of interrupting service; the government servant on Casual Leave is still considered on duty. LTC requires proper leave (EL, HPL, etc.) to be sanctioned for the journey period. Child Care Leave, being a recognized form of leave, can potentially be combined with LTC depending on specific rules, but Casual Leave is definitely excluded.
