Leave on Increment Day : Postponing of future increments

Leave on Increment Day : Postponing of future increments

As per the FR-26, an increment falling due during leave shall not be drawn till the employee returns to duty. This is because during leave, the employee is entitled to draw only leave salary which is based on the pay drawn by him before proceeding on leave.

This will not however, have the effect of postponing of future increments, provided that the portion of the leave period falling after the due date of increments also count for increments.
