Abstract: The generalized $mu$-$au$ interchange symmetry in the leptonic mixing matrix $U$ corresponds to the relations: $|U_{mui}|=|U_{aui}|$ with $i=1,2,3$. It predicts maximal atmospheric mixing and maximal Dirac CP violation given $het{a}_{13}eq0$. We show that the generalized $mu$-$au$ symmetry can arise if the charged lepton and neutrino mass matrices are invariant under specific residual symmetries contained in the finite discrete subgroups of $O(3)$. The groups $A_4$, $S_4$ and $A_5$ are the only such groups which can entirely fix $U$ at the leading order. The neutrinos can be (a) non-degenerate or (b) partially degenerate depending on the choice of their residual symmetries. One obtains either vanishing or very large $het{a}_{13}$ in case of (a) while only $A_5$ can provide $het{a}_{13}$ close to its experimental value in the case (b). We provide an explicit model based on $A_5$ and discuss a class of perturbations which can generate fully realistic neutrino masses and mixing maintaining the generalized $mu$-$au$ symmetry in $U$. Our approach provides generalization of some of the ideas proposed earlier in order to obtain the predictions, $het{a}_{23}=pi/4$ and $delt{a}_{mCP}=pmpi/2$.
