ALL THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT WOMEN EMPLOYEES ARE VERY MUCH DELIGHTED TO NOTE THE CLARIFICATION REGARDING CHILD CARE LEAVE. AT LAST THE CONDITION TO CURTAIL THE FACILITY TO THE WORKING WOMEN HAS BEEN DISMISSED. THANKS TO THOSE WHO ARE BEHIND THE CLARIFICATION.- G.KAVITHA, ALL INDIA RADIO, VIJAYAWADA.
Goooood, very good. Bahut der baad neend khuli.
dear sir/madam,
is it necessary for an employee to get a letter of recommendation from her immediate boss for grant of ccl? Does the boss have to confirm that no substitute will be requested during the period of my absence. There is so much begging for grant of this letter in my office!
Is the women serving in Government of India are the "ladlees"? What about the children of other talented women working in other sectors which which provides most most essential service to the Nation. This is too much. Are their children are orphans? Every body knows how the women in government service performs. I think it is unnecessary act. The work allotted to such women in GOI should not be overloaded to the other existing employees. In place of the women who avails CCl new recruitment should taken place.
This is injustice to all the women citizen of India working other important sectors.
My sincere thanks to Govt.
My humble request to the govt.is to consider the mothers of unmarried college students also. Because
we also have to attend our children in their sickness & in their studies.
Thanks for granting CCL to womens employees in central govt. likewise the children education fees should be paid per monthly basis i.e. Rs.1000/-p.m. in the payment. Children needs transport allowance, miscellaneous fees paid to school, PTA fees, Exam fees , Term fees which are not paid by the Central Govt. offices also sports activity outside the school should be paid by the government offices as per the criteria , also Project work for hindi week and Science project during February shodl be granted since some offices of govt. are in Mumbai are not reimbursing the same.Hence I requet you to kindly look into the matter and clear aboaut the CEA also.
1. Miscellaneous fees paid to school
2. Exam fees, term fees paid to school
3. Sports fees paid outside school coaching
4. Sports Uniform also should be paid
5. CCL should be granted as and when necessary since childrens are getting sick, exam time , vacation etc. it will be more than 3 spells, hence the criteria of 3 times in a year should be deleted.
only more than 15 days ccl is necessary
Once again Thanks for the same and look into the matter for CEA since villages of centralk govt emploees are not getting whole 12000/- per year they are getting only5 to 6 thousand only why this disparity between one child stays in city and villages?
CCL is going to overload the other women employees
those who are not eligible for it,where there is majority of women working, specially nurses.Govt shouldn't be partial,just relax the rule of children's age upto 25(unmarried & unemployed).
Sincere thanks to all whose effort made it possible.Wish to add that a child has four terms of exams and two long vacations where parent care is necessary.It does not seem sufficient 3 times in a year .It should at least be permitted 5 times in ayeaar
CENTRAL GOVT. EMPLOYEE THINK........
1.WHY R U SUPPORTING THIS CCL RULE ?
2.WHO WILL WORK IN REPLACE OF LEAVED WOMEN ?
3.WILL GOVT. PAY HALF SALARY FOR THOSE WHO WILL WORK IN THE OFFICE ?
4.TOTAL AMOUNT BURDEN OF RS.800000/-TORS.1000000/-FOR ONE LEAVED WOMEN,WHO WILL BE RESPONSIBLE ?
5.IF AUTHORISED STRENGTH 10 IN OFFICE,THERE ONLY 5 STAFF WORKING,THEN WHY THIS TYPE OF RULE PASSED ?
6.WHY NOT GOVT.CREATE VACCENCY IN REPLACE OF LEAVED WOMEN ?
THINK GOVT. EMPLOYEE..................
WHY WILL WE WORK IN REPLACE OF LEAVED WOMEN IN THE OFFICE ?

I agree that giving the benefit of CCL to women having upto two children below 18 years of age is indeed an injustice to
1. all women employees whose children are above 18 and had to go through difficult times to reach them to that stage.
2. all men and women colleagues who may have to take on the work load of the person proceeding on leave.
3. the bosses who have to deal with the dilemma of whether to recommend such leave or not.
Personally it may have been a better idea to give this benefit at some cost to the employee concerned. One such could have been in the payment such as allowing only 2/3 pay during leave.This would amount to something more than half pay leave but less than full pay. This would serve the dual purpose of curtailing indiscriminate availment of leave and also prevent too much heartburn amongst the employees who are not benefited.
After 13yrs one will be an adolescent,no more child Please make a meaning for child care leave.
when we avail EL more than 15 days even for genuine reason, UA,WA & TA will be cut off.Why not for CCL?
Yes, I too agree this is 100% injustice to the other employees.
At last all the central govt.woman employees got the justice.
Thanks to all those who are behind this.
sir,please help those women employees [children who were mid of 16 years and 18 years when clarification of orders confussion took place] and their mother could not avail leave and their children crossed the age 18 recently. Many women in that bracket though eligile could not take then and ccl period is lapsed now,kindly help us avail now.
Though leave has to be sanctioned finally by the authority/incharge and it is not necessary that the authority will recommend the leave, so how one can avail the leave when urgently in need and at extreme situation? 3 times in a calender year means exact how much leave can be availed at a time as it will be more than 15 days at a time? Naturally work will be hampered and due to that other workers will have more burden of work and in that situation who will allow this leave next time?Hence it is a request that some arrangement may be made to cope up with the work of the worker who is going on such leave. This facility shouldalso be given to all departments, whether public , State of Private also.
I - employee of central govt. want to take ccl but As informed by my concerned dept like establishment says they will not provide any substitute given on my behalf.it means they will not sanction leave till they will get the substitute ..........is their is any clause for not giving any subtitute .....
The CCL is an added nuisance to the sincere and hardworking male/female (who could not be covered by CCL) Already Government stoped recruitment and 30% of vacant post due to superannuation are being abolished. Further, Government servant already having a surcastic look by the public.Add fuel to the fire, the other employees are overburdened without any extra remuneration or benefit. Itis highly rediculous.
The CCL has been given by the Government so that the gender imbalance may be rectified, as we all know that in rearing the children especially in this country the role of the mother is very,very vital. The Government has made a very good step to improve the morale of the working mother. But the recent clarifications quoting that CCl may be taken even if you have EL at your credit should be made a little more flexible, because many of us have been taking CCL just like EL for more that 3 spells which was as per the last order of CCL. Now that we have exhausted all our EL and we have other leave on credit, we are at a loss to understand why the leave taken for less that 15 days EL cannot be converted into CCL even when it was for the purpose of taking care of the child. I am a shift duty staff and I am not able to take care of the children when they fall sick or during exams because of this latest condition which states that CCL cannot be taken in more than 3 spells of not less than 15 days. I am confused and the Sanctioning authorities who are mostly men are very anti-women because of the CCl and refuse to grant CCl even when we need it the most, citing prejudiced reasons. When will we ever get justice when the spirit of the Government's goodwill is being viewed so negatively?
I would like to point out, it is stated that ccl should be sanctioned as EL,during the sickness of children we can apply ccl but how will we know that our children are going to get sick on that perticular time?again i would like to tel regarding convertion of EL to ccl that they put condition that reason for leave apllied that time should be related to childrens problems but most of the ladies give domestic reason,now they are not getting benefit of convertion,hence it is requested that some arrengement may be made to overcome this problem and give instructions to offices.
one lady has avail maternity leave during 1990 and after that she has divorced with her husband and child given in the custody of her husband. After that she has got married with other person and have two children with him having D.O.Birth 1991 and 1995. Can she avail C.C.L. for third child i.e. having D.O.B 1995. It will be treated her second children or third one. please clarify
Sir, I want to know that whether a substitute of leaved female government employee should be provided by any Govt.office or not?
Please clarify
As the child care leave has turned into a pandora box now the solution is that child care leave should be given to all women employees because the children of the women, who have served the govt. more than those women employees who are junior to them, are not orphans and they also need mother's care. This leave should be granted to all women employees which they can avail during their entire service period.
CCL Should also be given to male widowers/ divorcees( i.e. single parents)and also those having a child with more than 75% disability or some kind of debilitating disease
ccl is a good option for those kids whose both parents are working ,without that their: ghar ka kharcha & EMI "IS NOT POSSIBLE.without assistance of elders( parents) CHILDREN ARE UNDER so much of pressure that they are becomeing DRUG ABUSER,COMMITING SUSCIDES,ANDOTHER MULTIPLE ILLEGAL OFFENCES. THIS action may help them to guide them better future.i am happy that govt has kept the age limit to 18, as by this age child passes 12 class &now preparing to enter the college so most of its needs can be fullfilled.
i want to give one more suggestion that either of any parent would avail, if one is not allowed.
not only the central Govt. employees, Requested to think about rest of Indian Parents. Better to stop this facility or some restrictions should inducted, like employees whose children are PH or mentally retard etc only be entitled for ccl that to with the support of a medical documents. duration of leave should be maximum 25 days in a year.
A Central Govt Employee already enjoying
30 EL+ 8 CL+ 20 HPL+ 2 RH+ 17 LISTED HOLY DAYS + 104 WEEKLY OFFs (SATURDAY & SUNDAY) TOTAL = 181
This shows a central Govt. Employee is working only 184 days (six months leave and six months duty)
Requesting To govt of India to re think before implimentng such leave rules........... regards
Govt of Kerala has Introduced the CCL in a good manner.

child care leave should be granted but then who is going to work in that employees place? ladies are seeking it as a mater of right a leave that has to be availed.. what is the mother of class xii child going to do at home as the child is busy studying? treat child care leave as half pay and just see the love and care for child reducing only genuine ones will remain
If 175 days of CCL ( in 3 spells) was taken by a vacation employee, I want to know whether the entire vacation salary will be cut? No such rule is seen in Swamy's book.
Dear Sir,
Kindly advise which leave can be availed for third child.The delivery is expected soon.
