Child Care Leave Rules for Central Government Employees
The Central Government recognizes the importance of supporting the welfare of women employees, especially those who are also mothers. To this end, they have established Child Care Leave Rules for Central Government Employees. These rules provide women with the opportunity to take time off from work to care for their children. This allows them to balance the responsibilities of work and motherhood, ensuring their physical and mental well-being. Under these rules, eligible women can take up to 730 days of leave, which can be taken in installments or all at once. This valuable benefit is a testament to the government’s commitment to gender equality and family-friendly policies.
7th CPC Child Care Leave
According to Rule 43-C of the Central Civil Services (Leave) Rules, 1972, female Government servants working in the Civil Services or posts related to Union affairs are eligible for Child Care Leave (CCL). This leave allows them to take care of their two eldest surviving children up to the age of 18 years for a maximum period of seven hundred and thirty days during their entire service. However, there is no age limit in case of a disabled child. The leave can be taken for not more than three spells in a calendar year, except for a single female Government servant who can take up to six spells in a year.
CCL cannot be granted during the probation period as per Rule 43-C (3), except in extreme situations where the sanctioning authority is convinced of the need for CCL to the probationer and the leave period is minimal. It should be noted that CCL is not a right and cannot be claimed without prior approval from the concerned authorities.

7th Pay Commission Report on Child Care Leave (CCL)
The 7th Pay Commission Report has addressed the issue of Child Care Leave (CCL), which is a benefit provided to female employees for a maximum of two years (730 days) during their entire service to take care of their minor children (up to eighteen years of age). The report has received numerous demands regarding CCL, including converting it into “family care” leave, extending the benefit to male parents, and allowing single male parents to avail of the same. Additionally, suggestions have been made to eliminate the clause requiring the child to be a minor in cases where the child is differently-abled. Single mothers have also raised concerns about unique challenges they face and have requested more liberal access to CCL. Interestingly, some representations have been made for discontinuing CCL, citing disruption of office work and concerns about gender discrimination.
7th CPC Analysis and Recommendations on CCL
When Child Care Leave 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 stabilize 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 a minimum period of 15 days of Child Care Leave.
It has been brought to the notice of the Commission that the capping of a maximum of 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 Child Care Leave should be granted at 100 per cent of the salary for the first 365 days, but at 80 per cent 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, is Report of the Seventh CPC 365 Index recommended that for such employees, the constitutionality of three spells in a calendar year should be relaxed to six spells in a calendar year.
Child Care Leave Rules and Restrictions
- Female employees are those who may be authorized by the competent leave-granting authority to take CCL.
- What is the permissible salary for female employees during the period of CCL? Female employees on CCL are entitled to receive leave salary equivalent to their current pay immediately prior to commencing their leave.
- “Is it advisable to only obtain CCL in a single instance? It is possible to obtain CCL in multiple instances.”
- It is not recommended to debit CCL from the leave account. It is advised that CCL should not be deducted from the leave account.
- It is permissible to grant Child Care Leave (CCL) for the third year as leave not due, even if there is no medical certificate produced. This means that CCL can be availed for the third year without any documentation of medical reasons.
- In cases where a female employee has more than two surviving children under the age of 18, it is necessary to determine who is eligible to receive Child Care Leave (CCL). Specifically, CCL will only be granted for the two eldest surviving children.
- Would Saturdays, Sundays, and Gazetted Holidays be counted for CCL during the leave period, similar to Earned Leave?
- The maximum number of spells for which CCL can be granted is limited to three in a calendar year.
- “What is the duration required for the approval of CCL for a singular period? The minimum duration for which CCL can be granted is 15 days for a single spell.”
- Could Child Care Leave be granted to adoptive mothers in relation to their adopted minor children? The guidelines for awarding CCL do not make a distinction between biological and adoptive mothers, therefore adoptive mothers may also receive CCL as long as they meet the eligibility criteria set for the leave.
- In the event that CCL (Compensatory Casual Leave) is initiated in December and extends into January of the following year, there may be confusion as to whether it should be classified as a spell of CCL for the previous or the upcoming year. It is important to note that the CCL must have been authorized in December of the preceding year or earlier. As a result, this CCL spell will be regarded as belonging to the year in which it was initiated.
- The benefit of Child Care Leave (CCL) is granted to mothers of disabled children up to the age of 22 years, provided that the child has a minimum disability of 40%. This information has been detailed in the notification No.16-18/97-N.I, dated 1.6.2011, by the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment.
- According to the current regulations, an individual is eligible to take any type of leave for a duration of up to five years at a stretch. The question arises whether the Child Care Leave (CCL) should also be considered within this five-year timeframe. The answer is yes, the CCL falls under the scope of the maximum five-year leave provision.

If you require combined both leave within 180days you avail and joints duty. CCL can avail service in 2 years upto the age of child complete 18 years.
Swetha says
I have joined back on 1st June 2020 after availing maternity leave and ccl from 22.04.2019 to 30.05.2020 . Will I get two increments one on 01.06.2020 and second on 01.07.2020 ?

No. Since you have combined crossed 180days, so you will get increment on 1-7-21 only. Also total E.L. 20 days & HPF 20days will be reduced in the respectively years 2019 & 2020 Proponationly.
Swetha says
Sir,but won’t I get increment on 01.06.2020 which is my joining date as my general increment date is 01.07.2019 according to my joining date 22.11.2017? And also will I not get another increment on 01.07.2020 which is my regular annual increment ? O.M.No.16/13/88-Estt.(Pay-I) dt.16.02.1989 says increment will be given on joining date after leave without affecting the next date of increment.
M.K.KUMAR says
It will be applicable only on Maternity leave alone. You have combined with CCL so it counts total more than 180 days. If you only availed maternity leave (or any other leave total not less than 180 days) the rules apply on increment from joining date.
S Biswas says
Sir, can you please tell the DoPT circular no. which states that leave taken in excess of 180days (Maternity+CCL)means loss of one increment? I am confused regarding this, and not found in Swamy’s handbook.
M.K.KUMAR says
As F.R.26,GIO (3) qualifying service of less than six months 180 days) on account of any leave period will have the effect of postponing the increment. As per the leave rules under 25(1) also will not counts for increment.
Hemant Kumar says

I have gone through the entire FR 25 and FR 26 but did not find these lines as quoted by you. Even there is nothing written about qualifying service. Can you please share the exact line written in the rule position.

In the month of sep 2019 my office circulated a notification that ,those employees who have availed ccl after december 2018, have to surrender 20% of the salary. Is there any Gazette notification? We were not informed about this before availing ccl.
M.K.KUMAR says
It is in 7th. CPC report. It is good to surrender notice. It is their mistakes to recommend your leave after 365 days in more than 3 spells. If order comes they will recover with amount with penal interest with normal interest. Better to. convert as E.L.
Pritika Chakraborty says
If any woman is unmarried and adopts child weather she will be authorized for ccl

I am a single mother my husband has expired 10 years back and I have exausted 360 days CCL when my son was small now my son is in Xth std n I am in need of CCL but my 20% of salary will be deducted which is not fair since my family is totally depends on my salary as I don’t get any pension since my husband was pvt employee. Kindly relax 20% of deduction to single mothers instead of granting in 6 spells.
DEEPAK says
What if the employee is a male with a differently abled child and the child’s mother is living elsewhere? Does that not make the male employee at par with Single fathers, though not “Unmarried / Widower / Divorcee”? What should he do in such a case to avail the CCL and discharge his duties as a father of a differently abled child?
M.K.Kumar says
It is recommended in 7th CPC report, but not approved.
DEEPAK BHAGADE says
I work as a Junior Engineer with Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited at Nagpur (Maharashtra). I had appealed to the Board of Directors, BSNL for Grant of Child Care Leave so that I could look after my child in his mother’s absence (mother is pursuing a course pertaining to the child’s disability at Delhi, resides at a hostel, and needs to focus on her studies). I would like to apprise you that BSNL follows the CCS (Leave) rules by Govt. Of India set by the DoP&T. As per the DoP&T Notification Dated.11.12.2018, CCL is available for Single Male Govt. Servant. The notification defines Single Male Government Servant as an unmarried or widower or divorcee Government Servant.
To my dismay my plea was rejected by my organisation citing the reason that I am “not a Single Male Government Servent, as such” and hence not covered under the existing provisions. It is rather painful and unfortunate that the very principle behind the provision of CCL single male employees is being ignored and only the rule is being adhered to; the letter observed, but the spirit relegated into oblivion.
I have been writing to DoPT, MoSJ and places, and have been running from pillar to post What should be the correct course of action?
Soliciting your kind advice.
Regards, DEEPAK – 9423194988
M.K.KUMAR says
If your wife is not availing CCL you can write your Controlling Officer. if he recommends to DoPT then it may allow as a special case for you.

Manisha says
what is the implementation date of recovery of 20% of salary after availing 365 days CCL? Whether it is 01.01.2016 or not?
S RAMU says
If an Women Employee availed her 365 days CCL up to before 7 th cpc, and start using her beyond 365 days CCL before 7 th cpc, now her salary paid beyond 365 days will be recovered.
M.K.Kumar says
This is to inform you that it has so many restrictions are there 1) It may not be granted in more than three spells in a calendar year. 2) It will be given for two children in full service. upto the eighteenth years of child.
3) More over after maternity leave it will be given continues with the medical certificates of the child’s heath from CHGS/Doctors will not give continues certificate if the condition of child is more sevior. 4) The Controlling Officer/Head of the Department may not sanction due to the condition of Office staff position.. 5) After the Maternity leave in CCL period of 180 days increment will be postponed to next year only. In any one of the condition it will not be taken/sanctioned by the individual/Officer or continues leave in first 365 days. So your question does not arise to is purview. In view of this there’s no orders to deduction of 20% of salary after 365 days.

Prof nanda ghosh says
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
Rekha Pathak says
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.
Chitralekha Goswami says
Ccl combine with cl
k.b.tayade says
one woman employee having three children, and asking ccl for second child having age less than 18years.whether ccl can be granted pl.
Pankaj Pandurang Shirsat says
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.
S.k.nair says
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.
sanjay sarkar says
child care leave should also be granted to commissioning parents as like as ccl.
Dr.S.Chatterjee says
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.
jyotsna says
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
shanthi.s says
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.
tushar roy chowdhury says
What is the rules for second child……
Vital says
If one child how many days of ccl can we avail. Can avail 730 or only 365 leaves
Sangeeta says
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.
Nirupam says
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.
Nirupam says
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.
SHAILENDRA KUMAR SINGH BHADAURIA says

My son will be completing 18 years on 28/01/2017. His ISC (XII) Board Examination will commence from middle of February 2017.
Whether I am avail CCL during my son’s Board Examination(XII) ?
Geeta says
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.
JKPaul says
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.
Smita says
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.
Smt. Renu Dar says
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 ?
