2. The Department of Personal and Training in its O.M. No. 11020/01/ 2017- Estt. (L) dated 30.8.2019 (copy enclosed) made the following changes, after amendment of Rule 43 C relating to Child Care Leave (CCL):

(a) CCL may be granted at 100% of the leave salary for the first 365 days and 80% of the leave salary for the next 365 days.

(b) CCL may be extended to single male parents who may include unmarried or widower or divorcee employees.

(c) For single female Government servants, the CCL may be granted for six spells in a calendar year. However, for other eligible government servants, it will continue to be granted for a maximum of three spells of a calendar year.

3. CPSEs formulate their own H.R. rules with the approval of their respective boards, in consultation, if required, with the concerned Ministries/ Departments. To protect the interest of women employees these H.R. rules shall invariably incorporate all statutory provisions. Regarding other welfare measures, all the administrative Ministries/ Departments are requested to advise the CPSEs under their administrative control to bring uniformity in their rules in line with similar facilities available to women employees of the Central Government with approval of the respective boards. In any case, there should be no variation in such measures between different grades of employees within a single CPSE.

4. This issues with the approval of the Competent Authority.
