OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Subject-Proposals on Child Care Leave (CCL) and
Maternity Leave – Reg.
This is regarding proposals on the subject of
Maternity Leave and CCL that are under consideration
in this Department. In this connection, a workshop
was held in DoPT on 28.01.2016 with the stakeholder
Departments on the following issues and the
consensus emerged as follows:
(a) Maternity/CCL in case of surrogacy: There is no
provision at present for any kind of Leave for
surrogate/commissioning mothers. It is proposed that
180 days maternity leave may be granted to the
surrogate as well as commissioning mothers, in case
either/both of them are Government servants. The
commissioning mother also requires time for bonding
with her child and to take care of him/her and hence
would also become eligible for Child Care Leave.
Paternity Leave may also be granted in case of
surrogacy.
(b) Age Limit for CCL in case of disabled children: It is
proposed that the age limit for CCL in case of disabled
children needs to be done away with since the
requirement of parental care may be more/stronger
when the disabled child grows older. It may therefore
be allowed to provide for CCL in the case of disabled
children the ‘disability’ being clearly defined by the
Ministry of Social Justice Empowerment – without any
age limit provided the maximum CCL that can be
availed remains within the ceiling of 730 days. (c)
Leaving HQ/availing LTC while on CCL: At present
leaving headquarters or availing LTC are not
permissible during CCL. The underlying intent of CCL
is to allow care of up to two children whether for
rearing or to look after any of their needs like
examination, sickness etc. Thus, it is not restricted to
exam and sickness alone.
Taking care may also include ensuring their rest and
recreation and towards that objective leaving
headquarters or availing LTC can be allowed. It is
thus proposed that the employees may be permitted to
leave headquarters/avail LTC while they are on CCL,
provided clearances from appropriate competent
authorities are taken while proceeding on foreign
travel.
(d) CCL minimum for at least five days: Vide this
Department O.M. No.13018/6/2013-Estt.(L) dated 5t
June, 2014 the stipulation of the requirement of
minimum period of 15 days’ CCL has been removed. It
is now proposed to introduce a minimum period of
five days of CCL i.e., CCL henceforth may not be
granted for less than 5 days.
2. Comments on the above proposals are solicited
please.
