Bengaluru: If you work for the government, this is super important for you! The government has shared some big updates about leave—yes, the leave you take when you want a break from work. But wait, before you get too happy, there are some strict rules you need to know!
So, Can You Take Leave Whenever You Want?
Well, I think it can sound like you should be able to take leave whenever you need, right? But actually, you can’t!

Leave is NOT your right! Basically, it means that just because you work in a government office, you can’t demand leave whenever you want. Your boss (the person in charge) has to approve it first. If they think your absence will cause problems, they can say no!
What If You Just Take Leave Without Asking?
Well, I think it can sound tempting to just skip work for a few days, but guess what? It’s a really bad idea!
- If you don’t show up for work for more than 4 months without permission, the government can take serious action against you.
- Basically, it means that they can remove you from your job (yes, fire you!) because it counts as unauthorized absence.
- Oh, and if you miss work without telling anyone, your salary will also be cut. No work, no pay—it’s that simple!

So, What’s the Right Way to Take Leave?
Well, I think it can be easy if you just follow the rules!
- Always apply for leave in advance.
- Wait for approval from your boss.
- Make sure your leave doesn’t affect work too much.
Basically, it means that as long as you follow the right process, you don’t have to worry! Just don’t assume leave is guaranteed—because, well, it isn’t!
These rules come under Rules 105 to 206, so if you’re a government employee, you better keep this in mind!
