vice is limited to six years.
111. Subject to the above limit, one year's furlough shall

IV. No furlough shall be taken before the completion
of eight years' actual service, except under Rule VIII.
V. Furlough shall not be repeated until three years from
the date of the last return from long extraordinary leave,

under Chapters 11. and 111., but no other leave, shall be
reckoned as part of the said three years.
VI. The maximum term of furlough to be taken at any
one time shall be two years.
VII. Except as hereinafter provided, an officer when on
furlough shall retain a lien on his substantive appoint-
ment, or on an appointment of similar character and not
less salary, and he shall be granted allowances at the rate
of 50 per cent. of his average salary for the previous three
years, or for the period which has elapsed since his last
return from long furlough, or long extraordinary leave, if
that period be less than three years.
In calculating such average, the time spent and the
allowances drawn under any leave, excepting privilege
leave under Chapter 11., shall be omitted.
Provided that no officer on furlough shall draw more
than £1,200 or less than £3OO per annum.
VIII. Under Medical Certificate
(a.) Furlough may be taken on the above-mentioned
conditions, without reference to the amount at credit under
Rule 111.
(h.) Furlough for a period not came ling one year may
be taken, even if less than three years have elapsed since
the last return from long extraordinary leave or long fur-
lough. When on furlcugh under this clause an officer
will not retain a lion on his appointment, and will be en-
titled only to subsistence allowance, unless ho has com-
pleted six months actual service since his last return from
long extraordinary leave or long furlough, and there re-
main some leave to his credit under Rule 111., in which
case the officer will retain a lien on his appoiutment, and

his appointment, and will be entitled only to subsistence
allowance.
IX. Furlough taken or extended under Rule VIII. is
subject to the provision of Rule 11.
X. Furlough taken in India will be reckoned from the
date of the officer quitting, his station to the date of his
return thereto. Furlough taken out of India will be
reckoned from the date of embarkation to the date of
return.
In the event of the furlough being taken partly in India,
and partly out of India, the commencement and termina-
tion of the furlough will be determined by the above Rules,
according as the furlough begins or ends in or out of
India.
XI. For the interval elapsing between departure from
his station and the commencement of furlough, and be-
tween the termination of furlough and the re-arrival at his
station, an officer shall be allowed subsidiary leave not
ordinarily exceeding in each case thirty days. During
those periods his allowances; will be calculated in the same
way as his furlough allowances, but without limitation as
to maximum and minimum. Provided that, if the officer
has, under these Rules, lost his lien on his appointment, he
shall draw subsistence allowance of his rank. Subsidiary
leave shall count as service and residence.
XII. Applications for furlough will in all cases be sub-
mitted to the Government to which the applicant is sub-
ordinate, and will be dealt with in such manner as the
Governor-General of India in Council may from time to
time prescribe.
XIII. Subject to the exigencies of the service, both as
regards the number of furloughs availabie at any one time,
and as regards indivi.lual applications, of which exigencies
the Government of India, Madras, or Bomba-, as the case
may be. shall be exclusively the judge, furloughs will be
granted under these Rules.
XIV. All applications for furlough under medical certi-
ficate, in accordance with these Rules, will be granted
without restriction.
XV. lf, owing to the exigencies of the service, it may
be necessary to place any limit on the number of officers
who may be absent on furlough at the same time, applica-
tions not supported by medical certificate will be granted
in the following order:—
The applicant to whose credit the greatest amount of
furlough remains under Rule 111, shall have the preference.
If two or more applicants are on an equality in this
respect, the preference shall be given to the applicant,
whose actual service in India is longest, reckoning, in the
case of an officer who has not taken long extraordinary
leave or long furlough, from the date of arrival in India,
and in the case of an officer who has taken long extraor-
dinary leave or long furlough, from the date of his last
return from such leave or furlough.
If two or more applicants are equal in both respects,
the preference shall be given to the senior in the Grada-
tion List.
XVI. The term of residence qualifying for pension shall
be 21 years, but no leave, except privilege leave and sub-
sidiary leave, shall count as residence.
XVII. The term of service qualifying for pension shall
be 25 years.
CHAPTER
PRIVILEGE LEAVE.
XVIII. Subject to the exigencies of the State, an officer
who has completed eleven months' continuous duty may
take privilege leave for one month without deduction from
his salary., retaining a lien on his appointment, whether
substantive or officiating,. Provided that, in the case of
his holding an officiating appointment, such lien and his
acting allowance will cease on the resumption of charge by
the officer to whom the substantive appointment belongs.
XIX. In the same manner, and under the same condi-
tions, two or three months' privilege leave may be taken
when an officer has completed continuous duty of twenty-
two or twenty-three months respectively.
XX. Privilege leave may, at the discretion of the local
Government, be taken in separate instalments. No second
instalment shall be taken until after the completion of six
months' continuous duty from the expiry of the first in-
stalment. In this case the eleven months qualifying for
fresh privilege leave will be reckoned from the expiry of
the first instalment, the period of the second instalment
being omitted from the calculation.
Provided that the whole privilege leave taken at any
one time shall not exceed three months, and that no
accumulation of privilege leave beyond that period shall
be admitted,
X.XI. If an officer shall over-stay his privilege leave, he
shall forfeit all salary during the time of his remaining so
absent ; and, if he shall so continue ab. est for more than
one week, his office shall become vacant.
XXII. Privilege leave shall be reckoned as residence
and service.

CHAPTER HI.

XXIII. Special leave, on urgent private affairs, may be
granted at the discretion of the local Government for a
period not exceeding six months. In respect of retention
of a lieu on appointment, of allowances drawn during the
leave, and of subsidiary leave, the conditions of special
leave shall be the same as those prescribed for furlough.
Special leave shall not be reckoned as residence.
XXIV. Rule XXI. shall, mutatis mutandis, apply to an
officer overstaying special leave.
XXV. Special leave may bo repeated without allow-
ances after intervals of at least six years' actual service.

CHAPTER IV.
GENERAL.

XXVI. Furlough, privilege, leave, and special leave
shall not be taken as such in continuation of each other;
but, if an officer absent on one of these classes of leave be
allowed to change it for another, the whole period of his
absence shall be held to bo under the class of leave for
which it was changed.
XXVII. Subject to considerations of State, there will
133 no restriction as to the places where an officer may
reside when on leave.
XXVIII. Leave allowance shall be payable monthly, if
payment is taken in India, and quarterly if payment is
taken in England.
