U.O.Note No.671/Ser.C./85-1 · Dated: 10th April, 1985
- U.O. Note No. 3089/Ser.C/65-1, G.A. (Ser.-C) Dept., dt. 6-12~1965 A point has been raised whether late permissions granted to a Government employee and late attendance without permission can be clubbed for purposes of forfeiture of casual leave.

Note under para 546 and 547 of the Secretariat Office Manual lays down as follows: "A member of the staff will be permitted to attend office late, for valid reasons, normally for three times in a month provided the period of absence does not exceed one hour including the grace time to ten minutes. For every three subsequent occasions or less during the month one day casual leave will be deducted from the casual leave account". "Para. 547: Forfeiture of a day's casual leave will ordinarily be the penalty for three days late attendance". The intention underlying the above provisions is that late attendance with prior permission up to three times in a month need not be taken into account for purposes of forfeiture of casual leave. For forfeiture of casual leave as per para 547 of Secretariat Office Manual, late attendance beyond three times in a month should be taken into account.

The above clarification may be kept in view while taking action for forfeiture of casual leave for late attendance
