CCL should be given but it should be restricted upto the age of 12 years of a child. Ladies who have only one child should be given 365 days leave why 730 days which is recommended for two children. Some ladies are taking leave for one year continuously in the name of CCL but building their houses, taking treatment in the hospitals. This leave should be given only for illness of child and during examination and not for other purposes and a certificate of illness should be demanded from CGHS dispensary or Govt. hospital.
