Under MSGEGIS 2014, the subscription for periods of extra-ordinary leave without pay shall be recovered with interest in not more than __________ installments.

B)
four
C)
five
D)
six
Under the Mizoram State Government Employees Group Insurance Scheme (MSGEGIS) 2014, specific rules govern the recovery of subscriptions when an employee takes Extra-Ordinary Leave (EOL) without pay. Since subscriptions are normally deducted from the monthly salary, a gap occurs during EOL. To ensure the insurance cover remains continuous and the fund is replenished, the arrears of the subscription for the period of EOL, along with applicable interest, must be recovered. According to the scheme's guidelines, this recovery is to be made in installments, and the maximum number of installments permitted for such recovery is five. Therefore, option (c) is the correct answer.
