EL Encashment against Notice Period - help me with the rules or formula applicable in this matter

Rishish
Dear All, Kindly guide me in this matter.
I was working in a central government institution under disability category but now I have resigned from that institution. I have 68 Earned Leave (EL) credit in my account on the date of resignation but I have to adjust 28 days notice period also. I have demanded for EL Encashment after resignation as per the CCS Leave Rules. The Leave Encashment Rule says that half of the total EL can be encashed at the time of resignation if the service is less than 20 years. Now they are adjusting my 28 days notice period after making the EL half i.e. 68 (Total EL) /2= 34 - 28 Days (Notice Period) = 6. Whereas I have asked them to first deduct the notice period of 28 days from total EL then calculate EL Encashment i.e. 68-28 = 40/2 = 20 Days of EL Encashment.
Please help me with the rules or formula applicable in this matter. Thanks in advance.
