What kind of care they need from their mom?
I think government is too bent on this issue because of pure vote bank politics.
It defies any logic.
Further if the age of the child is limited to 5 or 8 years will do justifiable cause.
Truely it is vote grabbing politics of politicians.
In my office almost 60% staff are women and among them 40% are eligible for child care leave. By virtue of union pressure almost all got their CCL. Now we, the remaining male members suffering a lot.
My daughter appearing for Board exam and i am going every day late to home.
It is a biased world.
I curse the people who given out this idea without properly applying their mind.
I am a railway employee.
MY DAUGHTER IS CURRENTLY GIVING HER BOARDS, HUSBAND IS POSTED OUT AND I NEED THIS LEAVE. PL CLARIFY. THANKS
We attached the admission slip along with the request as proof. But, the authorities are so idiots that they even don't understand this. She is working in 'G' Block, PCDA Office where the PCDA is behaving like a principle and the office has become a school.
It is really shameful on part of him....If government has given such leaves for woman employees who the hell he is to reject even based on a genuine ground.
Some people say that it is only in case of illness of child or during examinations, but is it documented somewhere that for which all other reasons this leave can be provided.
If the child care leave is not granted for any reason, to whom an employee can approach for second level approval, if that can be done.
As i have just joined the office and i do not have many EL in my account being the first year of service. Is it not possible to take Child Care Leave during probation.
Request anyone has this information to provide me the clarity on the same. Thanks.

2) Child care leave is an additional facility (unlike maternity leave which can be availed only by the female employees) to take care of children at the time of specific needs like sickness, examination, etc. The present provisions of child care leave are gender discriminatory – and assume that the children of male employees will not fall sick or they do not have examinations. Many male employees have to exhaust leave on such occasions while females can avail child care leave. Situations/problems are similar but facility offered is different.
5) Also, there are many male employees who are single parent (widower or divorced) or male employees who have their wives working in organizations (private sector) where child care leave is not in existence and extension of child care leave will be of immense help to them.
My daughter, who is at present 15 years old has been diagonised with borderline cerebral palsy with developmental delay since her birth. She is facing her board exams in this forthcoming year.
She has been pulled all along in her Academics side and Physical side with great stress and pain in my heart. she underwent many therapies including speech and occupational therapy and now she is in a stage that she could manage to complete her tenth standard when a strong support is given to her academically.
She has been assessed with 50% disability by the Government of Tamilnadu and a certificate to that effect has also been issued.
I have put in 16 years of service. With all these hurdles in my life, I have not applied any kind of long leave through out my service with the intention to avail Child Care Leave when my daughter comes to Tenth Standard.
To my dismay, when applied for leave, my leave sanctioning authority, do not even bother to hear my words. He bluntly told that CCL is not granted for more than 15 days to any body. He failed to consider my case on the medical ground. I feel that I am very much harassed and I am in a depressed state.
When many of the women employees in my office are availing CCL to make their children score good marks through some recommendation, why cant me granted CCL to enable my daugher to get pass marks?
Why cant the Leave sanctioning authority grant leave considering the genuiness of the case.
I am on CCL for 15 days it has been sanctioned by the director of our Institution, but my HOD is repeatedly sending mails to me come and do work, with a copy to director. Should I have to do work or just neglect it?
They avail the leave at the name of child and they misuse it completely affecting their collagues personal life
I am also a female and I have came through such an collague who is doing such things.
I think der should be some solid foundations laid for this CCL leave and govt should take necessary steps in order to find out if the leave is not been misuse in any ways
