CHILD CARE LEAVE : DOPT and FINMIN ORDERS
Introduction of child care leave in respect of Central Government employees as per recommeded in the sixth Central Pay Commission, women employees having minor children may be granted CCL by an authority competent to grant leave for a maximum period of 730 days during their enitre service for taking care of up to two children, whether for rearing or to look after any of their needs like examination, scikness etc. Hence Earned Leave availed specifically for this purpose only should be converted. Child Care Leave shall not be admissible if the child is eighteen years of age or older.
On recommendations of sixth pay commission, the CCL was announced to help women employees to take better care of their children and family. But the privilege backfired to several central government departments being like a hill with applications from women employees for CCL. After consideration of all the views, Dopt declared, 'CCL can be availed only if the employee concerned has no Earned Leave in her account. Those who have already taken the CCL will either have to return to office or part with their accumulated with Earned Leave'.
In further, Dopt orders said that "CCL cannot be demanded as a matter of right. Under no circumstances can any employee proceed on CCL without prior proper approval of the leave by the leave sanctioning authority. The leave is to be treated like the Earned Leave and sanctioned as such. Consequently, Saturdays, Sundays, Gazetted holidays etc. falling during the period of leave would also count for CCL, as in the case of Earned Leave. CCL can be availed only if the employee concerned has no Earned Leave at her credit.
and also instrcuted as "CCL may not be granted in more than 3 spells in a calendar year. CCL may not be granted for less than 15 days. CCL should not ordinarily be granted during the probation period except in case of certain extreme situations where the leave sanctioning authority is fully satisfied about the need of Child Care Leave to the probationer. It may also be ensured that the period for which this leave is sanctioned during probation is minimal.

This blog is very help full to all the Govt employees...
Now i had a problem with my mothers Child care leaves, kindly help me in this process.
She is a Central govt employee(Ministry of Defence) worked as a IE (Laborer)
->In October 2003, it has been diagnosed that she was suffering from Rectum cancer stage-II and held Radiation and chemotherapy treatment and operated.
->Further the same has been found to be recurred in 2005 & 2007, for that she had undergone Radiation and Chemotherapy treatment. Further the same has been Recurred Again in 2009. As advised by the doctor her regular treatment (i.e. chemotherapy for stage-IV Advanced) was continued till 2011
->Having no other option my mother compelled to take Medical Board Out from organization in June 2011.
Now from the year 2010 jan, she has taken CCL for her treament till June 2011 with the prior sanction of the respected officers. And then she is been medically boarded out from the service.
And in 2012 she passed away(Expired) due to her cancer problem,now at the time of auditing of her service record they raised an objection as she is not eligible for CCL. So the entire amount paid through the CCL i.e As salary to her from 2010 to 2011 is to be recovered. As she is been expired on 2012, the GPF amount which is the only amount of my mother which we also has been recovered. After recovering the GPF amount the Balance amount is 1,50,000/-.which is to be paid.
As we are eligible for the pension of my mother, we asked about that, now they say that the amount has to be paid and then only the pension process will be started.
In view of the above mentioned details i request you to help me to find the best solution.can the above amount can be waived under sympathetic grounds (If so) kindly elaborate the process.And if i got the JOB under compassionate grounds then my both GRAND PARENTS(Parents of My mother) will become my dependents or Not If yes tell me how to ask the administration.
