Non practicing allowance

Dear Tripathi,

Leave salary to a person on leave on full pay is paid equal to what he or she was drawiing before proceeding on leave. So, in my views, if the doctor was entitled to NPA immediately before proceeding on leave he/she was entitled to draw NPA during leave also.

1) You can challenge non-payment of NPA in a court of law;

2) If NPA is not paid, she can pracise, if she desires so, as NPA is paid only for not practising privately.

3) Definitely, if is a breach of agreement, if NPA is stopped without any reasobable ground, or if not specifically provided in the leave rules of the organisation concerned.
