<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->I CAG report points out that the officers drew the amount between January 2005 and October 2007 I IAS officers topped the list by earning Rs 76.52 lakh followed by IPS officers with Rs 52.08 lakh and Indian Forest Service with Rs 40.68 lakh.
<b>Violating rules, All India Service officers of the state pocketed Rs 1.69 crore by encashing of their leave</b>.
This was brought to light in the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) tabled in the Assembly on Friday.
As per clause 20 of AIS (leave) rules, the bureaucrats are entitled to encashment of leave only on superannuation or in the case of death.
<b>They are not entitled to the benefit while they are in service except for encashment of earned leave for 10 days while availing leave travel concession. </b>
The CAG report pointed out that the top bureaucrats of the state drew Rs 1.69 crore between January 2005 and October 2007.
The officers of Indian Administrative Service (IAS) topped the list by earning Rs 76.52 lakh followed by Indian Police Service (IPS) officers with Rs 52.08 lakh and Indian Forest Service with Rs 40.68 lakh.
Sources said it was the state government which decided to extend the facility enjoyed by the state employees to AIS officers too.
Accordingly, the AIS officers can now go for encashment of earned leave of 15 days once in a year or 30 days once every two years.
âThe Ministry of Personnel Affairs has made it clear in January 2005 that no benefit under the state government rules that no such benefit could be extended to members of AIS,â the CAG report pointed out.
But the Chief Secretary, in his reply to audit objections in February 2008, said the state government had decided to continue the facility to AIS officers. âThe reply is not tenable,â added the CAG report.
It further mentioned that though pay and allowances were borne by the government the conditions of service were regulated under the AIS rules.
The CAG recommended recovery of the amount from the officers.
