  1. Under no circumstances can any employee proceed on CCL without prior approval of the Leave sanctioning authority. As per this rule position CCL may not be extended. But CCL may be combined with leave of the kind due and admissible – Read Child Care leave Conditions

  2. Vanlaltlana Zote

    Can CCL be extended for another period on its expiry? If so, should it be treated as another spell?

  3. Madam . It is stipulated that CCL cannot be granted without prior approval. It appears that Department HQrs are not permitting extending CCL based on this condition. As of now there is no other clarification /interpretation regarding extending of CCL without prior approval. All Updates about CCL available here [ Click to Read ]

  16. i would like to have clarification for the following:

    this belongs to the case where both the parents are employees and posted at different stations. the children are with one parent due to this situation.

    sometimes, the presessing responsibilities of father would not allow caring of childrent and demand presense of mather for longer time say more than 15 days.

    in case the mother proceeds on CCL for 15 days and extends leave for further period say one month. if the leave extension is not granted, what shall she do!

    in this situation, the mother can not leave the children to no one’s rescue and join the duty.

    hence, i would like to know, how CCL helps in this kind of situations.

  20. i am central govt. employee having a child of 3 months and i availed 6 months maternity leave now how many days more leave i am entitled as per new rule.

  21. CCL is mockery with the system .it is joke with the reccomdations of 6th pay commision,any countary does not have these type of frreebiees .ccl should be withdrawn immediately.it is tight slap on the faces of male employees,who are performing their duties better than female employees in any office .

  22. what can we do if the principal dont sanction child care leave.i have been transfered to hard station due to which i cant take my children along with me.i am teacher in kendriya vidyalaya.my children are in IX $ X class so i need CCL FOR their studies.please guide.

  23. Rashmi Khanna

    I am a Teacher in M.C.D. School.My Department Is Not Granting Me THE CHILD CARE LEAVE.What should I do in this regard?

  24. sarmistha bhattacharjee

    I have completed/availed the child care leave for 19 days. Now I want to extent it for another 20 days. Can continuous extention is possiable. Or I have to fresh apply for child care leave. Please suggest me the procedure.

  25. Eversince the provision of Child care leave has started, there have been many representations to the Govt. regarding extending the benefit of such leave to male employees as well. Is a male employee not responsible for care of his children ? Moreover, since the CCL envisages full salary for the women employees, it becomes frustating for the male employees who have to sweat out in the office working additionally in lieu of their female counterparts, who reap such benefits at home. One more question, Whose Idea was this regarding CCL and why stepmotherly treatment to male employees ? These questions need to reply by the Govt. Would an RTI help?

  26. shilpa sonone

    Is maternity leave could combine with child care leave without joining after maternity leave.

  27. Sir,

  30. can we avail 2nd saturday, sunday and g. holidays as prefix or suffix with child care leave?

  31. It is requested that the name CHILD CARE LEAVE should be changed as personal care leave becos self should be fit enough, it is then only she can look after the child.Any how the leave should be made applicable to all central government employees irrespective of gender,family status.

    THANKING YOU HOPING FAVOURABLE AMENDMENT BE MADE IN THE SUBJECT LEAVE, SO THAT ALL CENTRAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES CAN AVAIL THE FACILITY.

  32. can a woman employee be recalled from CCL before the termination of CCL on account of transfer / posting due..?

  33. Hi, I am working in central Govt. office. I applied for CCL four times in view of townward trend in studies of my children, but was not granted stating reason due to shortage of staff. Lastly, I went on leave without got sanction the same CCL even after denying by the officer without any reason. I was ready to look after my seat during my leave as per my convenience but the officers were not agreed. What can I do.

  34. Pramod kumar

    It may be clarified that Child care leave can be aviled by a Female govt servant upto the age of 18 years of children or otherwise. The same may be clarified please urgently.

  35. can any body leave station taking CCL or visit abroad stating that the child is accompanying for a change in mood.

  36. Thanks for Child care Leave.But male officers feels that they are sanctioning leave from their pocket. It is always mentioned that leave is not your right. If so when any employee accumulates on their leave account 300 days (but now it is total 360 days due to the facility of 10 days encashment) their right towards accumulating ends. In the same way they do not have any right to take any extra leave i.e. which is said to have lapses. the question of lapse does not arise because your right is gone over. and the leave cannot be overflowed.So after so many confusion the leave declared for the benefits of women employee mat be extended to men also to take care of the child during March 08 2011. Parents means both mother and father.Please make a clear order without using any etc. because the employees or very clever in the etc we can accumulate any reason as the CCL is to be treated as EL The clarity without any confusion may be announced.There are some women employees whose child is in hostel and they cannot take leave for the reason sickness/examination. but they need to take care when the child comes and stays with their parents during the hostel holidays. For sickness reason the child sickness will not prolonged or it cannot be predicted. so prior sanction of CCL is not relevant. examinations can be predicated only a weak ago. So A fresh order and clrifications is a must.

  37. Can EL for any no. of days may be converted to CCL if the purpose of leave was to take care of children
