Question

Varsha wants to attend the naming ceremony of her friend’s baby which requires only a day’s leave. Since her friend has been unwell and requires support, Varsha decides to apply for an additional day’s leave.

Considering the purpose and duration of leave, select the type of leave Varsha should apply for.

विकल्प

• Earned leave

• Medical leave

• Casual leave

• Maternity leave

Answer 1

Casual leave

Explanation:

Short-term absences (often one to three days) to attend social events, family emergency, or personal concerns are covered by casual leave. Varsha’s leave fits under the “Casual” category because it is for a social ceremony and provides short-term, non-medical support for a friend. Earned leave is usually for longer, prearranged trips, while medical leave would require a doctor’s certificate for her personal health.
