AP LEAP App Compensatory Holiday: Complete Step-by-Step Guide for MEOs
The LEAP App compensatory holiday facility helps authorised education officials declare a holiday for one or more schools and record the corresponding compensatory working day. This digital process ensures that the holiday date, replacement working date, reason and selected schools are entered in one place.
In this guide, you will learn how to open the correct department module, select schools, choose Compensate Holiday, enter the required dates and submit the declaration correctly.
What Is a Compensatory Holiday?
A compensatory holiday is a holiday allowed on a particular date with a corresponding working day scheduled in its place. For example, if schools are permitted to remain closed for a local event, another date may be declared as a working day to compensate for the lost instructional day.
The holiday should be declared only by the competent authority and in accordance with valid government, district or departmental instructions. An entry in the app should not be treated as a substitute for official approval.

How to Declare a Compensatory Holiday in the LEAP App
Step 1: Open the LEAP App
Open the latest version of the LEAP App on your mobile phone. On the opening screen, tap the Department option.
Step 2: Log In with the Authorised Department Account
Enter the concerned MEO office username, generally the authorised UDISE-based user ID, and the correct password. Tap Login.
If the login fails, verify the credentials carefully. Do not repeatedly enter an uncertain password, as this may temporarily restrict access.
Step 3: Select the Teacher Tile
After login, the dashboard displays different service tiles. Tap the Teacher tile or bucket.
Step 4: Open Teacher (Services)
From the available teacher options, select Teacher (Services). This section contains service-related functions for teachers and schools.
Step 5: Open Leave Management
On the services screen, tap the Leave Management tile.
Step 6: Choose Declare Local Holiday
From the leave-management options, select Declare Local Holiday. This option opens the school-selection and holiday-declaration screen.
Step 7: Select the Required Schools
The screen will display the mandal name and the schools available under that jurisdiction.
- For all schools: Tick the Select All checkbox only when the approved holiday applies to every listed school in the mandal.
- For selected schools: Tick only the checkboxes beside the schools covered by the order.
Review the selected school names once before continuing. An incorrect selection may declare the holiday for schools that are not covered by the approval.
Step 8: Select Compensate Holiday
Open the holiday-type list or pop-up and choose Compensate Holiday. The wording displayed in the app may be “Compensate Holiday,” while the commonly used administrative term is “Compensatory Holiday.”
Step 9: Enter the Holiday Details
Enter the following information carefully:
- Holiday Date: Select the date on which the approved schools will remain closed.
- Compensatory Working Date: Select the date on which the schools will work in place of the holiday.
- Event Name: Enter a short, clear and official reason, such as the name of the local event or the reason mentioned in the proceedings.
Confirm that the holiday date and compensatory working date have not been reversed.
Step 10: Review and Tap Apply
Before submission, verify the selected schools, holiday type, both dates and event name. If all details are correct, tap the Apply button.
Wait for the confirmation message. Where available, save the acknowledgement or take a screenshot that does not expose login credentials or other sensitive information.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who can declare a compensatory holiday in the LEAP App?
Only an authorised officer or department user with the required administrative access should use this facility. Individual teachers should not use another person's credentials.
Can a compensatory holiday be declared for only a few schools?
Yes. If the approved holiday applies only to certain schools, select only those schools instead of using the Select All option.
What is the difference between the holiday date and compensatory working date?
The holiday date is the date on which the selected schools remain closed. The compensatory working date is the replacement date on which those schools must function.
What should be entered in the Event Name field?
Enter the official and concise reason for the holiday, preferably using the same wording mentioned in the approved proceedings or instructions.
What if I select the wrong school or date?
Do not create a second entry without guidance. Contact the competent departmental or technical authority and follow the prescribed correction or cancellation procedure.
Why is the Compensate Holiday option not visible?
The app may require an update, the account may not have the necessary permissions, or the user may have entered through the wrong login module. Update the app, verify the account role and contact official support if the problem continues.
Does submitting the entry in LEAP itself authorise the holiday?
No. The holiday must be supported by valid approval or instructions from the competent authority. The app entry records and implements the approved decision.
Conclusion
The AP LEAP App provides a structured method for authorised MEOs and department users to declare a compensatory holiday for all or selected schools. Accuracy is essential because the selected schools, holiday date, compensatory working date and event name directly affect school functioning.
Always verify the official approval, select only the intended schools, check both dates carefully and preserve the acknowledgement after submission.
