.
We reproduce here-under the letter submitted by NOINO to the ED (Personnel) on the issue of modification of leave rules. The GIC has already effected some modifications which will be beneficial to officers and employees. We have also reiterated certain other related issues.

Respected Madam,
.
Re: Modification in Leave rules.
.
We are given to understand that the GIC has effected the following modifications in the leave rules:-
.
1. Intervening holidays between CL not to be taken into account as leave.
2. Provision of availing PL reduced to minimum of 6 days instead of 7 days.
3. Minimum 15 days of availing leave while seeking encashment of PL in a block of two years not compulsory anymore.
4. HRA to be a part of ‘Salary’ while calculating amount for encashment of PL during service.
.
Our natural expectation is that the same modifications should also flow to LIC & also since all these demands have been raised in the charter submitted by NOINO on 23.7.2007. We, therefore, demand that the above modifications should be effected forthwith in LIC too.
.
In addition to the above, we would also like to reiterate our other demands submitted in our charter with respect to leave & related issues:-
.
1. 5 days week. If this demand is conceded, then the Provision of availing PL has to be further reduced to 5 days.
2. No ceiling on Sick leave.
3. Encashment of un-availed SL should be allowed on Retirement or on Death of the Officer to the dependent of the Officer.
.
We also demand that an Information-sharing session should be held immediately with the unions to discuss the pending issues.
.
Yours faithfully,
