All depend on the terms of appointment. In the absence of specific mention, as of right, employee is not entitled to leave encashment. What is not expressly provided cannot be inferred at any stretch of imagination especially in contracts of appointments.

Dear prabha!
You may ascertain it from the agreement it self.

If An appointment letter says nothing about then? Because What my conclusion is a FTCE should be treated as FT and in absence of any terms shouldn't he be entitled to leave encashment.

U R absolutely correct. I must reiterate what I have said. Appointment letter should be a self contained document and should give no room to surmises and conjectures.
