MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PERSONNEL, PUBLIC GRIEVANCES AND PENSIONS AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE PRIME MINISTER’S OFFICE
(DR. JITENDRA SINGH)
(a) to (c): Yes Sir. Recognizing the
additional responsibility on the shoulder of employees who are single
mothers, and based on the recommendations of the 7th Central Pay
Commission (CPC), the Government has relaxed the conditionality of
availing of CCL in three spells in a calendar year to six spells in a
calendar year for single female Government servant vide notification
dated 11.12.2018.
Further, the 7th CPC has observed that
the CCL as a welfare measure is seen as a benefit that has to be availed
simply because it exists, and there is a palpable need to bring in some
inhibiting factor so as to ensure that only genuinely affected
employees avail of this scheme. Government has accepted and implemented
the recommendation of 7th CPC in this regard that 100% of the salary
shall be paid for the first 365 days of CCL, and that 80% of the salary
shall be paid for the next 365 days vide the above notification.
