New Delhi, Sep 6 (TIWN) The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has rejected the proposal of the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF) to increase the number of 'casual leaves' from 15 to 28 days, an official said here.
"The proposal of the CRPF has been examined and it has been decided not to agree to the same in the light of the recommendation of the 7th Central Pay Commission (CPC)", the Police II Division of the MHA said, adding that it has the approval of the 'Competent Authority'. The copy of the order was maked to all DGs of the CAPF. Quoting the extract of the 7th CPC recommendations of 2014 on casual leaves, the MHA further reiterated, "Regarding the number of Casual Leave, the Commission is of the view that the present system is working well and need not be altered. As for the case of CAPF for parity with the defence forces is concerned, the Commission notes that CAPF is essentially civilian forces and their service conditions are different from defence forces. Hence parity in terms of number of casual leave cannot be considered. To sum up, the status quo is recommended".
