Grant of Child Care Leave - Woman employees cannot demand as a matter of right-Clarification
GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS / RAIL MANTRALAYA
(RAILWAY BOARD)
No. E(P&A)I-2012/CPC/LE-5
New Delhi, dated 17.12.2012
The General Secretary, NFIR,3, Chelmsford Road, New Delhi – 110055.
Dear Sir
Sub: Grant of Child Care Leave without any reason.
The undersigned is directed to refer to your letter No. 1/5(f) dated 14.11.2012 and to state that as per the extant instructions contained in Board’s letter dated 23.10.2008 and 12.12.2008, woman railway employees having minor children may be granted Child Care Leave by an authority competent to grant leave for a maximum period of two years (i.e.730 days) during their entire service for taking care of upto two children whether for rearing or to look after any of their needs like examination, sickness etc. and that Child Care Leave cannot be demanded as a matter of right.
Therefore, in order to enable the competent authority to decide on the application for CCL, reasons have to be mentioned and this condition cannot be dispensed with. Moreover, DOP&T has issued instructions in this regard which have been adopted in toto for the female railway employees. In the circumstances, Ministry of Railways also cannot unilaterally alter the purpose for which Child Care Leave is introduced to female railway employees.
In light of this, the demand is not feasible for acceptance.
Yours faithfully
sd/-
for Secretary, Railway Board.

of post of APM delivery for both the offices for having effective supervision.
2] 02/11/PIII/F/DPS:
Up-gradation of JP Nagar SO [BG South Division]
Grade ii to
Grade iii
The J.P.Nagar MDG [BG SOUTH DIVISION] is an
important PO & it has got more numbers of staff and workload. So it
justifies up gradation from Grade ii to Grade iii Postmaster to MDG.
3] Converting Adugodi
SO Bangalore- 560030 to a no quarters office
[BG South Division]
The Adugodi SO Bangalore – 560030 is
sheathed just by the side of slum. The slum dwellers both during day time as
well as during night time come fully drunk create nuisance. The SPM family
especially who have got grow up daughters finds it miserable and have become
helpless.
Also
the officials who are posted as SPM either decline or after working for
sometime seek transfer to some other office.
Under
the circumstances our union requests the administration to make Adugodi a no
quarters office so that SPM who are posted will not face such situation. There
is also acute shortage of water. It has become a problem. Action may please be
taken to provide adequate water supply to the post office.
New items

to Sahakarnagar SO and upgrade Shakarnagar to Grade I SO. Also the C.V.Raman
nagar SO.
3] UPGRADATION OF ARABIC COLLEGE SO TO GRADE I

delivery SO and upgrade the Arabic College SO to Grade I SO

Our divisional union
submitted the list along with the authorization letter to SP Channapatna in
