Office Memorandum
Sub: Child Care Leave to Central
Government employees - regarding
The undersigned is directed to
say that subsequent to issue of this Department OM of even number dated
0710912010, this Department has been receiving references from various
Departments, seeking clarifications. The doubts raised are clarified as under:-
1.Whether Earned Leave availed
for any purpose can be converted into Child Care Leave? How should applications
where the purpose of availing leave has been indicated as 'Urgent Work' but the
applicant claims to have utilized the leave for taking care of the needs of the
child, be treated?
Child Care
Leave is sanctioned to women employees having minor children, for rearing or
for looking after their needs like examination, sickness etc. Hence Earned Leave
availed specifically for this purpose only should be converted.
2. Whether all Earned Leave
availed irrespective of number of days i.e. less than 15 days, and number of
spells can be converted? In cases where the CCL spills over to the next year: for
example 30 days CCL from 27thDecember), whether the Leave should be treated as
one spell or two spells'?
No. As the instructions contained in the OM
dared 7.9.2010 has been given retrospective effect, all the conditions
specified in the OM would have to be fulfilled for conversion of the Earned
Leave into Child Care Leave. In cases where the leave spills over to the next
year, it may be treated as one spell against the year in which the leave
commences.
3. Whether those who have availed
Child Car Leave for more than 3 spells with less than 15 days can avail further
Child C31.e Leave for the remaining period of the current year'?
No. As per the OM of even number
dated 7.9.2010, Child Care Leave may not be granted in more than 3 spells.
Hence CCL may not be allowed more than 3 Spells irrespective of the number of
days or times Child Care Leave has been availed earlier. Past cases may not be
reopened.
4. Whether LTC can be availed
during Child Care Leave?
LTC cannot be availed during
Child Care Leave as Child Care Leave is granted for the specific purpose of
taking care of a minor child for rearing or for looking after any other needs
of the child during examination, sickness etc.
Hindi version will follow.
