Useful Comments of 7th Pay Commission regarding extension of Child Care Leave to Single Male Parents and Single Mothers

Giving benefit of Child Care Leave to Single Male Parents and Single Mothers, the 7th Pay Commission has recommended as under:

"9.2.10 The Commission notes that  in the event a male employee is single, the onus of rearing and nurturing the children falls squarely on his shoulders. Hence extension of CCL to single male parents is recommended. Moreover, the commission recognizes the additional responsibility on the shoulders of employees who are single mothers. Accordingly, it is recommended that for such employees, the conditionality of three spells in a calendar year should be relaxed to six spells in a calendar year."
