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.

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.

For your Reference :
sir, I have 9 months old son and i am working in railways but in the our office they are denying to sanction the CCL. By seeing the genunity of the case they are not sanctioning the CCL. Mothers care is essentially required at the tender age of the child. But they are sanctioning to others whose childern are of 14 and 15 years of age. I request the authority to make it mandatory to sanction CCL whose childern are below 2 years.
sir i applied for chil care leave as my daughter is 9 months old and she required my care i submitt the letter but my clerk said that this letter is not signed so they want the clarification from me kindly guide me what to do as i need chil care leave again.i had taken 45 days in two spell my third spell is left and i need the leave again.
Sir, I have adopted a girl child this year. She is 11 yrs old. I want to avail CCL for her studies as she just came to me. Please tell me Can I avail CCL for 1 or 2 years? Will the rules and facilities be the same?
my son is 17 years old and i want to avail CCL.Please tell me that how much days leave can i apply for.?And if the sanctioning authority refuses to grant me this facility,what should be my action..?
Sir, I want to know how many days of CCL can be availed in continuation to the Maternity Leave? Please clarify it is only 15 days with 3 spells
I fully agree with Sanjeev Sir’s statement. One small suggestion the name of the leave should be amended as medical care leave so that the all central govt employees irrespective of gender/ family status ie those who have family and not having family but left alone can also avail the facility, becuase after attaining age of 50 and above there is likley hood of developing some medical complaints which needs long leave. It would be helpful for them also. I request govt to consider this point
We talk so much about teenagers and adolescence and value of proper guidance at this tender age. Even our govt. is laying so much stress on it and making special programmes for the same.So we should stop looking at vested interests and take pride in this moment when a positive step has been taken in this direction. so that our mothers and sisters can take care of children at this crucial period of their lives to have a healthy future for our nation.
i am having a single girl child,who is facing her12th class board exams. during this period i availed 35 days child care leave. she is seventeen yrs old now. can i get ccl again for further rearing or to look after? i heard that after passing 12th class exam ccl can not be availed. please guide me
raise a lot of questions, doubt and applicability in behind of their invention, CCL. Therefore you are really bound to discuss, observe and finally change or modify or stop the rule of CCL. Throughout the country the impact of CCL is very poor that may be cleared so far. Anything will be crashed, if it is created for an interest of particular section and for those other total sections are suffered. In one side a very limited section of women and their child or family enjoy two/ four years leave with salary in the banner of Central Govt. scheme. Question can really be raised that why women are forced to look after their child {up to 18 years (?)}. In which era a woman is free to take their own decision about their life that in which stream they will study, in which profession they will join, in which age they will marry and to whom they will marry, when they will conceive, even they will continue with their pregnancy or not, at that time how are women alone forced to take care of their child. Definitely the responsibilities should be divided equally to women and men. In several occasion it has been seen that women are engaged in more responsible job than men. In such cases women cannot be expected to confine with their family simply giving two years CCL. In fact it is a trick to confine women. Any how I am writing my complain as follows
1. It is ensured that CCL can be granted for two years to the eligible women but it is not mentioned that who will do the work nominated for that particular lady who is in CCL. Practically that work is forcefully divided to other unlucky staffs without giving any allowance or overtime allowance. Doing this other staffs is officially exploited. Stop it.
2. In several department in Central Govt office where shortage of staffs are visible prominently. In such department CCL is like a curse to other unlucky staff. They are working even forgo their weekly rest. They are victimized due to granting CCL to other staff. They are overburdened, work beyond scheduled working time. In consequence their children (may be below 5 years) are deprived. Why that for others.
3. Gents staff whose wife is not a Central Govt employee but engage in a private sector or any other work cannot able to flourish their talent or to perform so called balancing dual responsibilities only because of engaging with their families. If men get CCL then talented wives get a chance to show their talent.
DEMAND:
1. CCL should be converted to FCL (Family Care Leave) and granted to every staff.
2. CCL should be extended to gents staff also and immediately. CCL should be granted to those father who are divorced, destituted by the wife, whose wife died, whose wife is engaged such a job that she cannot able to take care of the child.
3. Without relief or replacement of woman staff, CCL should not be granted to any one, which means it should be ensured that the work should not be divided to other staff or other staff should not be overburdened. In that occasion unemployed youth can be employed in ad hoc basis for replacement of CCL granted woman. And CCL should be extended to them also only because of its marvelous purpose.
4. Just stop the CCL and give CCA (Child Care Allowance) to every staff having child below 5 years so that parents can appoint experienced and learned babysitter.
5. In Railway child ticket sold out for 5 to 11 years in age, but in CCL, child means below 18 years. Make the age limit for child more practical.
6. CCL should be extended to private sector and unorganized sector also because of its marvelous purpose.
7. In the name of CCL, stop to exploit other staff and immediately.
8. The impact of CCL to other staff and their family without replacement of CCL granted staff is just like a curse from the hell. Stop it.
9. In the name of CCL do not divert women towards the family. Give a chance to gent staff to take care their child and relieve women for their work.
10. CCL can be granted without any type of payment.
My colleague wishes to avail of Child care leave for the first time. She has three children. The first two children are above 18 years of age and as such she could not avail CCL. Now her third child is 15 years of age and she wants to avail Child Care Leave. Kindly let me know whether she can avail the same.
what action could I take if my officer refuses to grant me CCL. I have 2 children below 3 years and i wish 2 care for them. Also can I change my EL to CCL.
What action could I take if my employer refuses to grant me CCL? I have 2 children below 3 years and i wish 2 care for them.
Also, can i change unpaid leave to CCL?
Please advise through email.

my mother is working in delhi govt. education deptt. i am3rd child to my mother born in 1995. can my mother avail childcare leave for my studies if so pls clarify
I am a central govt.employee since 1985. I have two children.Son is of age 18 and second child is girl of age 14yrs. My husband working in Canada since two and half year. They have applied permanent residence in British Colombia Govt. and got approval with family. I suppose to go to canada in next month with my children. Can I got Child Care Leave for my second girl child who is minor age of 14 yrs. Because the country is unknown to me and I want to lookafter my daughter there because my husband is working and he has no time to lookafter her. Can I got CCL for two years together. I have only 10 Earned Leave in balance.If sectioning authority will give me ccl together of 2years what will be the deductions in my salary and how many days before I will be applied for ccl.
sir,
I am working in CPMF, and having two children aged 4 years and 8 years who is residing with me. My wife is judicially separated from me. I am a resident of a village in Rajasthan which is rural and backword area. As per latest order of Government of India
Ministry of Personnel, P.G. and Pensions(Department of Personnel & Training)New Delhi OM No. 13018 /1/2010-Estt. (Leave), dated 7th September, 2010, Female employees can avail CCL upto two years in whole service for preparation of examination or lookafter for illness of their children upto 18 years of age.
In this connection it is requested to clarify whether I am eligible to avail CCL in aforesaid circustances. If not, why ?. In present situation requirement CCL is much required to me tolook after the child education and sickness of my children than any other female employee. Permisssion to avail 770 days or 2 years CCL to only female employee is not justified and it is also injustice with the male employee because after 2-3 years of age of a child he or she use to go to school and most of the responsibilities related to care of child like admission of child in school, giving guidance in education, preparation of exam.,taking hospital to child during illness,dropping and receiving the children to and from school is undertaken by the men.
Please send reply at the earliest by return e-mail.

CCL Clarification regarding
My sincere thanks to Govt.
My only daughter just completed her 18yrs & she is in BE 1st year.
When the CCL was 1st introduced, I was relaxed & I thought I can help my daughter during her exams(+2).But we were disappointed by the very next G.O. regarding CCL.
Even the college students need their mothers’ attention in sickness & during exams,they face 2 Govt. exams/yr. Girl children prefer only mothers to accompany when they go for any tournaments & other competitions.So my humble request to the Govt. is to consider the mothers of unemployed college students.
Thanks once again.
