Dear Sir/Madam, I have been working in a public sector firm for the past 5 years. I took a two-day leave approved by the sanctioning authority with station leave permission. However, after the expiration of my leave, I remained absent from my duties. I then sent a mail to my organization six days later requesting a 4-day extension of leave. Unfortunately, I did not receive a reply. Subsequently, I submitted a medical certificate to support my leave request and asked for an extension of one month. My organization requested a signed letter along with the original medical certificate. After complying with this, I further extended my leave for an additional 20 days. Once again, they asked for a proper medical certificate covering the entire period, as my initial reason for leave was personal and not related to sickness.
I have now requested another extension of leave for twenty days and informed them via email. However, they continue to assert that I am on unauthorized leave. Recently, I received a letter by registered post stating that I must return to work within three days of receiving the letter, or strict action will be taken against me in accordance with company policy. I am concerned whether this unauthorized leave could lead to termination.
Kindly advise on the implications of my situation.
Thank you.

You were on unauthorized leave for almost three months, and still, you assume that your company/PSU will wait for your convenience to join them. There are innumerable unemployed persons available in India who are in search of a job. It is a competitive market, so it is advisable to join immediately, or else they can terminate you, stating you as absconding.
