Why Your Leave Application Is Not Approved on Manav Sampada
Applying for leave through the Manav Sampada portal is a straightforward process, but sometimes, employees face the issue of their leave applications not being approved. If your leave request is stuck in pending or has been rejected, it can be frustrating. Don’t worry — we’ll explain the common reasons why your leave might not get approved and how you can avoid these issues.

Common Reasons Your Leave Application Is Not Approved
1. Insufficient Leave Balance
One of the most common reasons your leave application may not be approved is if you don’t have enough leave balance (whether it’s casual leave, earned leave, or medical leave).
- Solution: Before applying, check your leave balance on the portal to ensure you have enough days available. If your leave balance is low, consider applying for leave at a later time or using a different type of leave.
Incorrect Leave Type Selected
If you select the wrong leave type (for example, applying for sick leave when it should be casual leave), your application could be rejected.
- Solution: Double-check the type of leave you are applying for. If you’re unsure which one to choose, refer to the guidelines provided by your department or HR.
Missing Documents or Information
In some cases, leave applications require additional documents (such as a medical certificate for sick leave or maternity leave). If these documents are missing or incorrect, your leave request may not be approved.
- Solution: Make sure to upload all necessary documents along with your leave application. If required, check with HR to confirm which documents are needed for your specific leave type. You can also read: How to Add or Update Documents in Manav Sampada
Pending Approval from Supervisor

After you submit your leave request, it needs to be approved by your supervisor or manager. If they haven’t seen your request yet, it might stay in the pending status.
- Solution: Follow up with your supervisor or HR if your leave application is pending for too long. It may be stuck in the approval process, and a gentle reminder could speed things up.
Missed Application Deadline
For some types of leave, like annual leave, there might be a deadline for submitting applications. If you submit your leave request after the deadline, it may not be approved.
- Solution: Try to apply for leave well in advance to avoid missing deadlines. Check with HR for the specific deadlines for different types of leave.
HR Department Issues
Sometimes, the issue lies within the HR department’s system or their approval process. There may be a delay or technical issue that causes your leave request to remain in pending or not get approved.
- Solution: Contact your HR department or the IT team managing the Manav Sampada portal. They can check if there’s any issue on their end and help you get the approval process moving.
Incomplete or Incorrect Leave Application
If there’s any error in your application, such as entering the wrong dates or incorrect information, your leave application may be rejected.
- Solution: Before submitting, always double-check your application for errors. Make sure the start and end dates are correct, and all information is accurate. If there is a mistake after submission, you may need to cancel the leave and apply again with the correct details.
Overlapping Leave Requests
If another employee in your department is already on leave during the same time period, your leave request may be denied to ensure there are enough staff members available.
- Solution: Verify with your supervisor if there are any team members already on leave during the same period before submitting your request. In some cases, you may be asked to reschedule your leave.
How to Address Issues with Your Leave Application
If you don’t know why your leave application was rejected or why it’s stuck in pending, reach out to your HR department. They can give you the reason for the rejection or guide you through the process of resubmitting.
If the issue is related to supervisor approval, politely follow up with your supervisor. It might be a simple oversight or a delay in their review.
Always check your leave balance before applying. If you don’t have enough leave, you can request leave without pay or explore other options like compensatory time off.
