Child Care Leave and Maternity Leave Rules

Study Notes

Leave Types and Provisions

Child Care Leave (CCL) can be granted for up to 730 days during an employee's service for caring for minor children under 18.
CCL may be used for children's examination, sickness, or other needs but is limited to three spells per calendar year.
Single parents are allowed six spells of CCL within the same period.
CCL is similar to Earned Leave, includes weekends and holidays, and cannot be demanded as a right; it requires proper approval.
Full salary is provided for the first 365 days of CCL, followed by 80% salary for the next 365 days.
Child Adoption Leave is available for female employees with less than two children, granting 180 days immediately after adoption, under the Guardians and Wards Act 1890.
Adoption Leave salary matches the last pay drawn and can be combined with any other leave, continuing up to one year after the child's age.
Work-Related Injury and Illness Leave covers illnesses or injuries due to official duties, with full pay during hospitalization and six months post-hospitalization.
After six months, half pay is provided for twelve months; this can be converted to full pay leave by debiting half pay leave from the employee's account.

Advances and Financial Assistance

Advances for Travel Allowance (TA) on tour cover expected traveling expenses; must be adjusted within 15 days post-tour.
TA on transfer is available to cover travel expenses for the employee and family, adjusted against the final claim.
Family members of a deceased government servant can receive a TA advance, amounting to 75% of admissible TA, secured by a permanent employee's surety.
Leave Travel Concession (LTC) advances can be up to 90% of total estimated fare, adjusted in the LTC bill within a month of return.
Medical treatment advances are available for both outpatient (specific cases like cancer and TB) and inpatient expenses in approved hospitals.
Advances for house construction or purchase can go up to 34 times the basic pay or a maximum of ₹25 lakh, with repayments spread over 180 and 60 installments respectively.
Personal Computer Advances are limited to ₹50,000, or the cost of the computer, allowing multiple advances with a three-year gap between draws.
Recovery of all advances, including computer advances, must not exceed 50% of total emoluments.

Interest and Repayment

Current interest rates for housing loans are set at 7.9% (until March 31, 2022) and for personal computer advances at 9.8% for 2021-2022.
