Consequent upon the decisions taken by the Government on the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission relating to Maternity Leave and Child Care Leave, the President is pleased to decide that the existing provisions of the Central Civil Services (Leave) Rules, 1972 will be treated as modified as follows in respect of civilian employees of the Central Government:-

I have a question. Is child care leave imandatory in private organisation also or it is for government organisations.
If it is applicable in private organisations also then please advise from which date it is applicable and under what rules or Act
This leave is unfair.
CCL should be LHAP.
Given only when women employee is on duty and she has given a child.
CCL should not take at a starch, it can be taken in whole service up to the age IN completion of eighteen years of two children to take care for they can be in sick/any examination timings for both of them in study. Due to this any office work cannot affect in view of lack of staff especially in the Budget Sessions. In some offices more women employees, it can be used on term basis. For that only government gives 100% salary for them first year & those who are taking more than 0ne year continues they deduct 20% of salary. Comparing to other Institution/private services of WOMEN employees in GOVERNMENT is giving good facilities for them in addition to the maternity leave. IT SHOUD BE APPRECIATED in now-a-days both are employed in FAMILY, in my opinion. So it is not unfair, VERY GOOD DECISION FOR IN A FAMILY to look after the child up to the age eighteen.
Can a central govt. Employe mother get CCL for a minor girl child studying in different city/state in school?
