Provided further the Syndicate may, in any other exceptional case waive, for reasons to be recorded, the refund of leave salary for the period of leave still to be earned. (I) STUDY LEAVE (i) Study leave may be granted to a permanent whole-time teacher (other than a Professor of the University) with not less than two years continuous service, to pursue a special line of study or research directly related to his work in the University or to make a special study of the various aspects of University Organisation and methods of education giving full plan of work.

(vi) The teachers granted Study Leave would be entitled to continue to draw their total emoluments for the duration of the Study Leave as are applicable to teachers granted fellowships under the Faculty Improvement Programme of the University Grants Commission except the living expenses allowance of Rs. 250 p.m. The necessary increment will also be sanctioned as and when due. However, the amount of emoluments payable to the teachers on Study Leave shall be reduced subject to the provisions of Sub-Clause (vii) and (viii) below. (vii) The amount of scholarship/fellowship or other financial assistance that a teacher granted Study Leave has been awarded, will not preclude his being granted Study Leave with pay and allowances but the scholarship etc. so received shall be taken into account in determining the pay and allowance on which the Study Leave may be granted. The following guidelines may apply while determining and admissibility of pay and allowance where financial assistance is received by a teacher is : (a) $ 10,000 or above per annum — leave shall be granted without pay; (b) $ 5,000 and above but less than $ 10,000 per annum — leave on half pay; and (c) Below $ 5,000 per annum — leave with full pay.

(x) The period of study leave shall count as service for purposes of retirement benefits, provided that the teacher rejoins the University on the expiry of his study leave, and serves for the period for which the bond has been executed. (xi) Study Leave granted to a teacher shall be deemed to be cancelled in case it is not availed of within six months of its sanction. Provided that where study leave granted has been so cancelled, the teacher may apply again for such leave. (xii) A teacher availing of study leave, shall undertake that he shall serve the University continuously for double the period of study leave subject to a maximum of three years from the date of his resuming duty after expiry of the study leave.

In case the teacher has been granted study leave without pay and allowances, he shall be liable to pay to the University an amount equivalent to his four months pay and allowances last drawn as well as other expenses incurred by the University in connection with the course of study. EXPLANATION If a teacher asks for extension of study leave and is not granted the extension but does not rejoin duty on the expiry of the leave originally sanctioned, he will be deemed to have failed to rejoin the service on the expiry of his leave for the purpose of recovery of dues under these regulations. (e) Notwithstanding the above, the Syndicate may order that nothing in these regulations shall apply to a teacher who within three years of return to duty from study leave is permitted to retire from service on medical grounds. Provided further that the Syndicate may, in any other exceptional case, waive or reduce, for reasons to be recorded the amount refundable by a teacher under these regulations.

The sureties furnished should be acceptable to the University. Where the two sureties or the one surety, as the case may be, provided by the teacher are those who .are permanent teachers of the institution to which the teacher belongs, the University may, in its discretion, waive the additional requirement of getting security of immovable property or a Fidelity Bond of an Insurance Company or a Guarantee by a Scheduled Bank. The surety clause shall form part of the study leave bond and the persons giving surety shall be liable to pay to the University the amount recoverable from the teacher concerned on his failure to fulfil the obligations of the Bond. (xv) A teacher who has been granted study leave for pursuing studies towards his doctorate shall submit to the Registrar six monthly reports of progress in his studies through his supervisor or the Head of the Institution. In case of others, the teacher concerned may send the report of the work done by him directly to the Registrar.

A University employee who has retired on Compensation pension, if re-employed, may retain his pension in addition to his pay, provided that his pension shall remain wholly or partly in abeyance. If the sum of the pension and initial pay on re-employment exceeds his substantive pay immediately before retirement, that is, he can draw only such portion of pension as will make his initial pay plus pension equal to his substantive pay at the time of his retirement.

In determining the pay of such re-employed pensioners, the following principles shall be observed: (i) the pay must not exceed the substantive pay drawn immediately before retirement, or the maximum of the scale, applicable to the post in which he is re-employed,whichever is less; (ii) when a person is re-employed after superannuation, his pay plus pension, including commuted portion, if any, shall not exceed the substantive pay drawn immediately before retirement, or the maximum of the post in which he is re-employed; whichever is less. 8.7. When an employee who having been discharged with a pension is subsequently re- employed, he may not count his new service for a separate pension. Pension (if any) is admissible only for the new service combined with the old, the whole being counted as one service. 8.8. If an employee who has obtained Compensation or invalid pension is re-employed in pensionable service and retains the pension (Regulations 8.3. and 8.5.), the pension or gratuity admissible for his subsequent service is subject to the limitations that the gratuity or capital value of the pension shall not be greater than the difference between the value of the pension that would be admissible at the time of the final retirement, if the two periods of service were combined and the value of pension already granted for previous service. (ix) Procedure for sanctioning and payment of Pension 9.1. Delay in payment of pension involves hardship to the pensioner. The Vice-Chancellor will frame a Time Table and prescribe the procedure for ensuring prompt sanctioning and timely payment of pension and other dues of the retirees. It should be ensured by all those concerned with sanctioning and payment of pension and other dues that payment is made on the date when it becomes due. 9.2. If payment of pension and/or Death-Gratuity/Retirement gratuity is delayed beyond three months, from the date of its becoming due, interest at such rate as may be specified by the rules, to be made by the Syndicate, shall be paid for the period beyond three months after these benefits become due to the end of the month preceding the month in which payment is authorised to the pensioner concerned.
