Difference between LPR and Leave Encashment

Many of the employees even don’t know the difference between LPR and Leave Encashment and they asked me about the same by sending me emails and by the comment. It is fact when an employee enters into Govt service he/she is not aware of many terms of job service and service rules. Do you know the difference between the said terms? If you know the difference it is great and if you not know the same today I will explain you the difference between the two with detail.

LPR & Leave Encashment

LPR and Leave Encashment are both the types of retirement options. LPR means leave preparatory to retirement and leave Encashment is the amount that is paid to the employee in return of the leaves in his/her credit at the time of retirement. In LPR the employee enjoys leaves instead of cash amount of Leaves while in Leave Encashment the employee enjoys the payment instead of availing leaves.

When an Employee can avail LPR and Leave Encashment?

A government servant can avail LPR after a continuous service of at least 25 years while he/she can avail Leave Encashment after a continuous service of at least 30 years. When an employee retires on the basis of Medical Basis he/she will also get the Leave Encashment of his/her leaves in credit. In this case at least nine and half years service is compulsory. The same is in the case of death during service.  Most of the employees prefer to retire at the age of 60 years on attaining the age of superannuation as they see they have no alternative source of income for them and their family.

Benefits of LPR and Leave Encashment

During LPR a government servant is on leave before his/her retirement. Suppose a government servant has 265 days leave in credit then after availing the leaves of 265 he will be retire from Govt service. He/she avails about all the pay and allowances except conveyance allowance during the period of LPR while in the case of Leave Encashment the employee serves the department till the date of retirement. The government servant gets all the pay and allowances as well as the payment in return of leaves in the credit. This payment depends on the number of leaves in his/her credit. Suppose the basic pay of an employee is 30,000 and he/she has 210 days leaves in the credit then he/she will get about Rs. 210,000/- as Leave Encashment.

I have discussed the major points on the said topic and it is on you that which benefit you want to avail.

    1. Dear Hasan Ansir

      A government servant who dies during service is considered to have retired on medical grounds from the date of death. So in my opinion the LPR stands cancelled and instead pension starts from the date of death.

    2. Surely, family of deceased employee, who is on LPR and dies during LPR, his family shall be entitled for encashment for the remaining period of 365 days according to rule 17(5) of Punjab revised leave rules 1981. Crystal clear.

  16. On superannuation, leave encashment is granted irrespective of the fact how many years of service has been rendered by the retiring person in KP. Secondly, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Leave Encashment is granted after 26 years of service in case he a one wants to retire before superannuation and there is no mention of required service length for this in the KP Revised Leave Rules 1981. As qualifying service for pension is 25 years in KP, 26 years of service is mandatory for Leave Encashment.Astonishgly, in Pension Rules, Qualifying service for pension is 25 years in KP but 20 years in KP Civil Servants Act 1973.

    1. Under Punjab Revised Leave Rules 1981, the competent authority may grant up to 10-days casual leave to an official in ordinary cases and up to 15-days in special circumstances. As far as I have knowledge of rules of Education Department, Headmistress is not competent authority. She is head of the school having supervisory role, and may grant 02 to 06 days casual leave at a time to her subordinates.

  43. as per formula of calculation of leave encashment, in the said case, if BP=30000 and leave in his credit are 210 days then the amount will be 207123/- instead of 210000/-
    kindly correct it.

    leave encashment=30000*210/365*12
