CLARIFICATION ABOUT INCLUSION OF MSP WHILE CALCULATING LEAVE ENCASHMENT AMOUNT
Dear ESM Friends,
MSP (Military Service Pay) was taken into account while calculating leave encashment amount during 6th CPC period.
But in Army Pay Rules 2017, based on 7 CPC, nothing is stated about inclusion of MSP and X-Group Pay while calculating Leave Encashment amount. Hence, CGDA office has written to Ministry of Defence for clarification about inclusion of MSP and X-Group Pay in Dec 2017.
On 20-3-2019 Ministry of Defence has clarified that X-Group Pay is to be included while calculating Leave Encashment, but clarification about inclusion of MSP while calculating Leave Encashment is not yet given.
Hence, finalization of Leave Encashment of about 1.5 Lakh of Ex-servicemen is pending, for want of clarification from Ministry of Defence.
