(For rules made under the above Rule See  Appendix IV).

Unless otherwise ordered by Government, a compensatory allowance shall ordinarily be drawn only by a Government servant actually on duty, but the authority competent to sanction leave may in writing permit it to be drawn by the officer on earned leave, if the whole or a considerable part of the expense to meet which the allowance was granted continues to be incurred by him during the leave:

Provided the Government Servant certifies that he continued for the period  for which the allowance is claimed, to incur the whole or a considerable part  of the expense for which the allowance was granted:

 Provided further that the officer is due to return after leave to the same post or station, as the case may be from which he proceeded on leave or to a similar post or station for which the allowance at the same or a higher rate is admissible:

 Provided further when the Government servant on return from leave is posted to a post other than the one from which he went on leave and both the posts carry similar allowances but at different rates, the Government servant shall during leave draw the lesser of the two rates

(ii)  the Government servant draws no allowance of the same kind in the post to which he is transferred; and

(iii)   the Government servant certifies that he kept his family, for the period for which the allowance is claimed, at the station from which he proceeded on transfer.
