DOPT Guidelines for AIS Officers on Central Deputation Seeking Study Leave

DOPT Guidelines for AIS Officers on Central Deputation Seeking Study Leave

The Department of Personnel & Training (DoPT) has issued new guidelines regarding study leave for officers of the All India Services (AIS) on central deputation. These regulations address the challenge of leave salary during study leave when the deputation tenure ends mid-course. Key highlights include:

  1. Leave Salary: During the central deputation period, the central government will bear the salary. Beyond this, the respective state government must handle it.
  2. Ex-India Study Leave: Officers can take up to 15 days of ex-India study leave for pre- or post-course formalities, either before or after the course.

These measures aim to streamline study leave processes for AIS officers on deputation.
