This Department has been considering grant of Special Casual Leave to Organ Donors in the light of several references/queries received, in consultation with Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

Further, keeping in view the noble activity to help another human being and to promote organ donation among the Central Government employees, it has now been decided to grant a maximum of 42 days Special Casual Leave to a Central Government servant for donating their organ(s) to another human being, as a special welfare measure in public interest, notwithstanding the provision under Appendix-III of the CCS (Leave) Rules 1972 regarding grant of Special Casual Leave not exceeding 30 days in any one calendar year, on the following conditions:

(i) Irrespective of type of surgery for removal of donor’s organ, the duration of Special Casual Leave will be a maximum of 42 days as per the recommendation of Government registered medical practitioner / Doctor.

(iii) The Special Casual Leave shall not be combined with any other leave except in exceptional circumstances of complications of surgery on medical recommendation by the Government registered medical practitioner / Doctor.

(vi) Treatment in connection with organ donation shall as far as possible be done from any Authorized Hospital.

(vii) “Authorized Hospital” is defined as Government Hospital or Private Hospital empanelled under Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS).
