In the cases of leave of absence exceeding 30 days in very unusual circumstance, the official will have to furnish an undertaking to the effect that he will join his promotional post in Postmaster Grade-I on the expiry of his authorized leave; else he would be deemed to have declined his promotion to the Postmaster Grade-I.
