Authority can demand medical proof, so it is advisable to see any govt. Doctor. No consultation fees and due prescription issue.

For 2 days, medicine bills can submit.

If the earned leave is availed on medical grounds then the medical certificate has to be produced and also the fitness certificate has to be produced at the time of joining the duty back.

Rule 7 of CCS Leave Rules reads as under:-

 

"7. Right to leave (1) Leave cannot be claimed as of right.

(2) When the exigencies of public service so require, leave of any kind may be refused or revoked by the authority competent to grant it, but it shall not be open to that authority to alter the kind of leave due and applied for except at the written request of the Government servant.

 

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA'S DECISIONS (1) Government servants to be encouraged to take leave regularly.- The Government have had under consideration the recommendation made by the Second Pay Commission that the Heads of Departments, Offices, etc., should plan their work in such a way as to permit Government servants to take a certain amount of leave annually and a longer period after some years or according to any special necessity.

Leave cannot be claimed as of right. When the exigencies of the public service so require, discretion to refuse or revoke leave of any description is reserved to the authority empowered to grant it. These provisions have been made in the rules because it is not always possible to let all who want leave at a particular time to have it at that time and there is a limit beyond which depletion of staff cannot be permitted without dislocating the working of an establishment. These provisions are not intended to be used as in effect to abridge the leave entitlement of the staff. Indeed it is desirable in the interest of efficiency of the public service that Government servants take leave at suitable intervals and return to work keen and refreshed.

The leave sanctioning authority may, therefore, encourage Government servants to take leave regularly, preferably annually. In cases where all applications for leave cannot, in the interest of public service, be granted at the same time, the leave sanctioning authority should draw up phased programme for the grant of leave to the applicants by turns with due regard to the principles enunciated.
