730 Days Of Child Care Leave For Male And Female Government Employees By Centre But Here’s a Catch

The Centre informed the Lok Sabha on Wednesday that both male and female government employees are eligible for 730 days of child care leave (CCL). In a written response to the Lower House of Parliament, Union Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh stated both female and single male government employees might take advantage of 730 days of parental leave to care for their two oldest-born kids up to the age of 18. If the child has special needs, there won’t be an age restriction.

Here’s the catch!

“Female government servant and single male govt servants appointed to the civil services and posts in connection with affairs of the Union, are eligible for child care leave (CCL) under Rule 43-C of the Central Civil Services (Leave) Rules, 1972 for a maximum period of seven hundred and thirty days during the entire service for taking care of two eldest surviving children up to the age of 18 years and no age limit in case of differently-abled child,” said the Union minister in his written statement.

The Ministry of Personnel stated in 2022 that the leave could only be used three times in a single calendar year. However, the CCL will be increased to six instead of three spells for a single female employee.

Paternity leave available for men under Child Care Leave

Women who work for the Central Government are eligible to maternity leave that can last up to 180 days. During the course of the employee’s employment, the leave period for abortions and miscarriages might last up to 45 days.

While his wife is recovering from childbirth, male employees are also entitled to a paternity break of up to 15 days for no more than two surviving children. If a male employee adopts a child younger than one year old for no more than two surviving children, he may use this leave.
