(b)  In  respect of
any  year  in  which  a Government  servant avails

admissible  to  a Government  servant not in permanent 
employ  or  quasi-permanent  employ in respect of the first year
of  his service.

Government servant does not  avail  himself  of  
any  vacation, earned leave  shall be admissible to  him in
respect  of that year under rule 26. For the purpose of  this rule,
the term ‘year’ shall be  construed not  as  meaning a 
calendar year  in which  duty is performed but  as  meaning
twelve months of actual duty in a Vacation Department.

           
A Government servant entitled to vacation  shall be considered 
to  have  availed  himself  of  a vacation or a
portion of a vacation unless he has been  required by general or
special  order  of  a higher  authority  to 
forgo such  vacation or portion of a vacation:

more than fifteen days of the vacation,  he   shall  be
considered  to  have availed himself of no portion of the vacation.

vacations which  fall during the  period  of  actual
duty  rendered before proceeding on  leave  but with
reference  to  the vacation  that  falls during 
the  year  commencing from  the  date on  which
he  completed  the previous year of duty. As per Rule  29(1) the
half pay leave account of every Government  servant  (other than a
