7th CPC Report on Child Care Leave (CCL)
Child Care Leave
Child Care Leave (CCL) : Child Care Leave (CCL) is granted to women employees for a maximum period of two years (i.e., 730 days) during their entire service for taking care of their minor children (up to eighteen years of age). There are several demands relating to CCL which include converting the same into “family care” leave, extending the facility to male parents and many representations stressing that it should be extended at least to single male parents.
Suggestions have also been received that in cases where the child is differently abled, the clause stipulating that the child should be minor, should be done away with. Single mothers have highlighted their unique problems and requested the Commission for liberalising the grant of CCL. Interestingly, representations have also been made for discontinuance of the CCL, primarily on the grounds that it disrupts office working and also because it promotes gender discrimination.
Analysis and Recommendations
When CCL was first introduced by the VI CPC it generated considerable interest as it represented a positive measure benefiting women employees. It also took a while to stabilise and it is seen that as many as five amendments/clarifications were issued within a short period of time.
As it stands, it is meant for women employees “for taking care of up to two children whether for rearing the children or looking after their needs like examination, sickness etc.” It is treated akin to Earned Leave and is sanctioned as such. It may not, however, be granted in more than three spells in a calendar year.
In the first two years of its implementation the experience was that women employees tended to treat this as Casual Leave or an extension of the same, and the resultant frequent absences caused disruptions at work. To address this, in September 2010, a clarification was issued stipulating that CCL may not be granted in more than three spells in a calendar year and also that it may not be granted for less than 15 days at a time.

However, the latter stipulation was subsequently withdrawn and as per the latest clarification issued on 5 June, 2014 the government has decided to remove the requirement of minimum period of 15 days CCL. It has been brought to the notice of the Commission that the capping of maximum three spells in a calendar year has, to some extent, addressed the problems relating to disruption of work.
Notwithstanding that, in the course of discussions with various stakeholders, the sense that has come across is that what was introduced as a welfare measure to help employees in times of need, is seen as a benefit that has to be availed simply because it exists. There is, therefore, a palpable need to bring in some inhibiting feature so as to ensure that only genuinely affected employees avail of this scheme.
Towards this end the Commission recommends that CCL should be granted at 100 percent of the salary for the first 365 days, but at 80 percent of the salary for the next 365 days. In making this recommendation the Commission has also kept in mind the fact the concept of a paid (whether 100% or 80%) leave solely for child care for a period of two years, is a liberal measure unmatched anywhere else.
The Commission notes that in the event a male employee is single, the onus of rearing and nurturing the children falls squarely on his shoulders. Hence extension of CCL to single male parents is recommended. Moreover, the Commission recognizes the additional responsibility on the shoulders of employees who are single mothers.
Accordingly, it is Report of the Seventh CPC 365 Index recommended that for such employees, the conditionality of three spells in a calendar year should be relaxed to six spells in a calendar year.

A colege teacher is enjoying 82 days more leaves per year in comparison to a female school teacher. I think this must b stopped for colege teachers with imediate effect. Govt should seriously take note of it
By going through the earlier comments (any one can go through), I realize that the CCl is perceived in a very negative sense by many male employees/ employers. It is part of every family irrespective of whether working wife or not that the children need due care for their grooming and proper development. As some body has also pointed out that the institution will ruin and become non functional if this continues, I would first of all like to thank him/her for having understood the importance of an employee especially a woman employee for largely contributing to her institution to the extent that her absence would really cause a loss. secondly it is my feeling that a child is very important entity in the family solely dependent on his/ her mother who feeds and grooms. so I am obliged to the government for this decision of providing the child care leave for the women employees and also single men.
Ccl combine with cl
one woman employee having three children, and asking ccl for second child having age less than 18years.whether ccl can be granted pl.
When ever a lady goes on CCL she has to hand over her charge to other. In such she should hand over the charge to another lady counter part. Otherwise most of the time it is observed that most of the lady employees take CCL either when there is big work load or if other lady employee is going on CCL. In such cases the men counter part is given all the load and he has no other option which ultimately affects his wife and his children….. So while some children get their mother and some children are angry with their father. Upon that since these leaves are applicable to only govt and psu’s those mothers whose mothers are working with pvt sector and fathers working in govt or psu’s suffer hell lot….. Hence my suggestion is if both parents are working specially when mothers in pvt sector and father in govt or psu’s then these CCL should be given to fathers also or there is grave injustice done to those who at time don’t see either of them.
The first condition was little bit right that when there is no kind of any leave, the ccl was allowed to avail. That time there was not much misuse. In my knowledge some officials are availing without any reason as their children attaining 18years. In my opinoin ccl should be given when there is sny kind of leave to the really needy official the age of the children should also curtail. Becacuse of ccl the office works suffers and the male officials not getting leave when the are very badly needed. It is my point of view.
child care leave should also be granted to commissioning parents as like as ccl.
the child care leave has become an instrument of severe malutilisation of the spirit with which it was started. Many female employees are harassing the administration in the name of CCL. This must be stopped and the duration of CCL should be reduced to 6 month only , otherwise all the government institutions will soon become non-functional.
Why are Central Govt employees entitled to 730 days of CCL but women officers in the Armed Forces are entitled only to 365 days. the distinction is not understood considering a woman central govt employee is a central govt employee irrespective of whether she is in the armed forces or not. also since she goes through a birthing process and challenges of motherhood no dfferent from other central govt employees the distinction is not constitutional or logical.This issue needs to be addressed by the Government asap
yes i agree with what sangeetha says. it is not correct to say that child will fall sick only for 3 spells a year. even if leave availed is not for exam but for sickness. how this will apply for two children.
What is the rules for second child……
If one child how many days of ccl can we avail. Can avail 730 or only 365 leaves
Limitation of CCL to three spells in a calendar year is against the spirit of granding CCL. CCL is granted to take care of child then how come a child’s need related to exam+sickness be restricted to thrice in a year. If CCL is applied is for a small spell then it should be at least six times in a calendar year.
CCL facility should be for Male employees also. Today when we say much more about equality of Man & Women on the other hand Govt introduces facility on the basis of discrimination which is totally wrong and injustice to Male. Father is getting paternity leave then why not CCL? It is unfortunate that so called literate women are silent against the injustice to Male.
The concept of CCL is wrong. It seems that Govt thinks no responsibility of father in bringing up of child. It is unfortunate. This facility should be challenged in court for justice to male.
The provision of punishment as disciplinary action should be there in case of misuse of this facility.
There should be provision for punishment in case of misuse this facility by disciplinary action. It should be kept in mind that child care is not only responsibility of mother and child require father also then why CCL is for mother only? It is totally wrong and injustice to Male employees. It seems that Govt made this one sided facility to get women’s vote. C CL should be challenged in supreme court. Because this facility is on the basis of gender discrimination.

Whether I am avail CCL during my son’s Board Examination(XII) ?
This CCL was introduced in the 6th pay commission report. As per the report it is limited upto two children completing 18 yrs of age. At the time wen it was introduced many employees took whole two years leave when their youngest was 16. This means many ladies have enjoyed full 2 years period wen it was required or not. Now only those ladies are left who genuinely needed this leave. And now this clause comes of 80%. if this has been introduced earlier then those ladies who took it as a matter of right should also not have taken the leave. But now only 1 year leave is granted on full pay which I think most of the ladies have taken and if now they want to take this leave they have to bear good financial loss. I too don’t agree to this. First give the privilege and then take back. Mothers are the building blocks of the nation. If she is taking leave for the education, sickness etc of the children, a good role model for the nation is also being prepared by her. She gives her fullest to the child. I think Govt should think over this issue again.
Men employees are less paid and than women employees of same rank/post. Several years extra with-pay leave (so Called Child Care Leave) is allowed only to women employees while men employees are not only deprived of such with-pay leaves, they (men employees) are also made / compelled to do the extra work-load of their women counter parts when those women employees happen to be on leave. This is a gross unfair exploitation of men. The situation becomes a gross injustice to the single-parents male employees who alone, for being a single male-parent, has to take care of his own children. Though 7th CPC has proposed to grant CCL to single male parent also but, for some unknown reasons, the same has not yet been implemented.
It defeats the very purpose of Child Care leave that 80 per cent salary for last 365 days.It means if woman is taking leave leave for a child she has to suffer financial loss.It shows apathy and non sensitivity of commission to child and it’s development.Educational fees,tution fees everything will be sam and salary reduced.!What a joke!
If any child is sick with disease like cancer and his mother will have to suffer financial loss,the price for being near to child is real cruelty.
Moreover only 3 slots per year should be removed.If it is 7 slots then women may take short leaves,but 7 times.
In one hand offering leave ,compassion and then stabbing at the back other side need full stop.
In the starting of the ccl from 2008 to 2010 many women like me took ccl after exhausting all EL at credit. As there were no conditions present at that time, the conditions imposed retrospectively have been a great loss to many women like me, who has lost some 75 days of EL in order to avail ccl in those early years of ccl introduction. There are two other women in my office who have suffered this loss. Can something be done about this to get back our lost EL which is encashed after retirement ?
