Leave Balance Tracker

Track your Earned Leave (EL), Half Pay Leave (HPL), and Casual Leave (CL) balances under CCS (Leave) Rules 1972 in one place. The tracker warns you as your EL balance approaches the 300-day carry-forward cap so credit doesn't lapse unused, estimates your retirement EL encashment using your Basic Pay and DA, and flags CL days that will lapse at year end since Casual Leave does not carry forward. Useful for planning leave well ahead of retirement or a calendar year-end.
