What type of leave is not charged against a soldier's leave balance in IPPS-A?

Emergency leave does not impact a soldier's leave balance in IPPS-A because it is granted in critical situations that require a soldier to be away from duty unexpectedly. This type of leave is specifically designed to address urgent personal matters, such as family emergencies or other significant life events that necessitate immediate attention. Since it is intended for unforeseen circumstances, emergency leave is treated differently from other types of leave, such as annual, personal, or compassionate leave, which are generally accounted for against the soldier's leave balance.
