Leave Encashment Rules for Central Government Employees:
Upon retirement, central government employees can encash a maximum of 300 days of unutilized Earned Leave (EL).
The encashment amount is based on their monthly salary (including Dearness Allowance or DA) and the number of EL days encashed.
Encashment during service is generally discouraged, and it is typically done at the time of retirement or superannuation.
