Office Memorandum
Sub: Child Care Leave in respect of Central Government employees as a result of Sixth Central Pay Commission recommendations - Clarification regarding
The undersigned is directed to say that this Department has been receiving representations from Government Servants through various quarters like the Public Grievances Cell/Associations etc requesting to review the decision to allow Child Care Leave (CCL) only if the employee has no E.L. at her credit.
2. This Department's O.M. No.13018/2/2008-Estt.(L) dated 11/09/2008 regarding introduction of Child Care Leave in respect of Central Government employees and subsequent clarifications vide O.Ms. dated 29/9/2008, 18/11/2008 and 2/12/2008 were reviewed.
It has now been decided in consultation with Department of Expenditure, to delete the condition that CCL can be availed only if the employee concerned has no Earned Leave at her credit, subject to the following conditions:-
(i) CCL may not be granted in more than 3 spells in a calendar year.
(ii) CCL may not be granted for less than 15 days.
(iii) CCL should not ordinarily be granted during the probation period except in case of certain extreme situations where the leave sanctioning authority is fully satisfied about the need of Child Care Leave to the probationer. It may also be ensured that the period for which this leave is sanctioned during probation is minimal.
3. It is reiterated that the leave is to be treated like Earned Leave and sanctioned as such.
4. These orders take effect from 1.9.2008. Earned Leave, if any, availed by women employees before availing CCL subsequent to the issue of the OM 13018/2/2008-Estt.(L) dated 18/11/2008 may be adjusted against CCL, if so requested by the employee.
5. Hindi version will follow.

ReplyDeletethanks for sharing
Thanks to each and every one for putting effort for amendment in child care leave.
ReplyDeleteThanks to each and everyone for the amendment in Child Care Leave

does this circular mean that one is eligible to take about 5 months CCL in a stretch i.e. from nov-dec of any year to mar-april of the next year?
ReplyDeleteThanx to Govt.....Now I can take care of my 1 year child without tension
ReplyDeletebut any way, there are some sadistic officers who do not want to grant leave. they deny just saying office work would get affected
ReplyDeletewhat to do when one needs ccl badly and officer is not giving ccl on account of work pressure
ReplyDeleteragini
is the railway employees eligible for CCL? If so to whom we apply for the leave?
ReplyDeleteIs this leave applicable even if i have taken 2 spells of 6 leaves before. If anyone can help me with this query i would be great full.
ReplyDeleteWhat to do when one needs CCL for genuine need of her child and officer is not giving CCL to her and giving EL and CCL (both) to favourite woman employees repeatedly?
ReplyDeleteWHY IT IS NOT GRANTED TO MALE EMPLOYEES. ARE THEY NOT REQUIRED TO LOOK AFTER THEIR CHILD IF WIFE IS WORKING IN PRIVATE ORGANISATION AND WHY SHOULD TAX PAYING WOMEN EMPLOYEES OF PRIVATE SECTOR BEAR THE COST OF THIS PRIVILEDGE GIVEN TO GOVT EMPLOYEES.
ReplyDeleteAt last good sense has prevailed to the framers of rule.
ReplyDeleteNow there is logic in CCL. Thanx
ReplyDeletePREVIOUS TO THE RECENT ORDER, THE LEAVE AVAILED IS NOT MORE THAN TEN DAYS AND IN MORE THAN 3 SPELLS. HOW THIS LEAVE WILL BE TREATED.
ReplyDeleteIs it really serving the purpose to take care of child at the time of his/her need when the spells of taking CCL have benn limited to 3 spells?
ReplyDeleteIsn't it more useful if instead of limiting spells, the number of days of CCL should be limited in a calender year?
ReplyDeleteThanks for deletion of condition ccl can be availed only after completion of EL. Previous to these orders EL/CCL granted not more than 10 days due to work pressure in more than 3 spells. Now how that leave will be treated please clarify.
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving relaxation to CCL. all EL availed before CCL can be converted into CCL availed for the purpose of Child Care. Officers not sanctioned more than 10 days for not disturbing the work.
ReplyDeleteeven when the govrnment sanction the child care leave the administsration of the department denying the leave to be sanction of child care leave
ReplyDeleteWhat about Earned Leave availed less than 15 days during the period from 2008 till sept 2010?? Can it be converted to CCL????
ReplyDeleteWhat to do when any one needs CCL genuinely and the officer is not sanctioning CCL and asking to apply for EOL.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Earned Leave availed less than 15 days during the period from 2008 till Sept 2010 and in more than 3 spells? Can it be converted to CCL? How that leave will be treated please clarify.
ReplyDeletewhen Railway Minisitry will issue orders for women employees. K.SWAMINATHAN SR.TYPIST, DY.CMM/O/GOC SOUTHERN RAILWAY
ReplyDeleteWhat to do when sanctioning authority is using own wish to stop CCL or to grant CCL from time to time? Does it mean Leave for 'Child CARE'?
ReplyDeleteWhen the first order for CCL came, the same was not sanctioned in my office stating that they need further clarification. In the second order it was stated that CCL can be availed only after exhausting the EL. But now in the third order it is mentioned that persons having EL are also eligible to avail CCL. But in the meantime, during these clarifications, my son has attained the age of 18 years. I could not avail the CCL facility due to the delay in giving clarification by the concerned. Hence, sir please clarify whether I can now avail the CCL for my son's exams, etc. because the same cannot be availed by me due to the delay in giving clarification.
ReplyDeleteWe are sending comments but from where can we get the answers to our queries and problems regarding CCL? Please guide....
ReplyDeleteIn many kendriya Vidyalayas not following this circular.Principal sir saying this circular is not for KVS. what is this? is this correct?
ReplyDeleteWill Railway Circular will be effected from 7th September 2010? Can we use right to information act 2005 to get these information? Through RTI Act we can get progress regarding above-mentioned information.
ReplyDeleteThat means there is no longer equality between the sexes. Thank God I am a woman!

CCL IS THE ONE OF SUCH LEAVE
ReplyDeleteWHERE
THERE IS NO EQUALITY OF SEXES
BUT,
THERE IS A FLEXIBILITY ON THE PART OF
WOMEN EMPLOYEES
WHO NEED TO DO BOTH HOUSEHOLD CHORES
AND OFFICE WORKS.
IT IS AN WELCOME ONE IN THE POINT OF VIEW OF WOMEN;
BUT NOT IN THE CASE OF MEN.
JUST LIKE ME ..1
PRASANNA .
I am an employee of the Food Corporation of India, Kolkata, and my officers have refused to grant me Child Care Leave as my child has no disability. Acc. to them, the Latest Circular needs to be clarified furhter to imply that even the mothers of normal children are entitiled to avail the leave.
ReplyDeleteI feel they should make it minimum 12 days CCL as 15 days makes me lose suffix facility. e.g. i am going on leave from 20th Dec'10 monday to 3rd jan 2011 (15days). if i wish also i cannot join on monday.

Child Care Leave is a very welcoming decision of Govt of India. But I think there should be more regulations in granting this Leave.Otherwise there is every chance of misusing this Leave. It is now found that Women employees are in mass applying for this Leave with out any unavoidable purpose. This is resulting in smooth functioning of Offices in Southern Parts of India where the percentage of women employees are more than men. I think all will take my comment positively.
ReplyDeleteHey How about CCL to male employees. We have got physically handicapped Husband & Wife employees with a physicaly handicapped child, Can the government explore possibilities to grant CCL leave to the couple in different spells? Let someone take up such points during discussions with Government.
ReplyDeletethanks for this circular.
ReplyDeletethanks for child care leave.it would be appreciable if the same is given to all central Govt employees irrespective of gender, category and family status,changing the name of leave as self care.
ReplyDeleteI am an employee of Khadi & Village Industries Commission, Ministry of MSME, Govt. of India,Kolkata state office, Am I eligible to get the facility of this leave?
ReplyDeleteplease make the facility to be enjoyed by all central government employees irrespective of category/family status and gender(Male employees also)
