Dear All,
I've served in central government service for 21 years. Recently, after the transfer of my husband, I took the newly introduced child care leave to look after my young daughters. As per CCL rules, I've exhausted all other leave due to me. At the end of the sanctioned CCL, I've asked for an extension of 3 months leave, which may serve as my notice period, and then voluntary retirement after that. However, my office has refused the extension. Hence, in the absence of valid leave or notice period service, the processing of VR will not be done. Can anybody advise? It's impossible for me to join back and work for 3 months, leaving my daughter alone at home.

Dear k_60,
I welcome you to CiteHR.com.
With reference to your query, I presume that the Child Care Leave (which you have availed after availing maternity leave) is of one-year duration. You have again requested an extension of 3 months leave and applied for VR - is that correct?
You do not have any leave left in your credit.
Now, there are certain issues that must be made clear:
First, leave cannot be claimed as a matter of right, and the grant of leave is purely discretionary.
Having said that, I do not think the majority of authorities would refuse leave under such circumstances in government service.
You must apply for "Leave without Pay" since you have exhausted all your leaves.
The second issue is - you must not club your application for leave with the request for VR. VR is a separate matter and again it cannot be claimed as a matter of right; it is purely discretionary.
You must study the VR policy and the provisions therein. Are you eligible for it, as per the conditions laid out therein?
If so, you should move a separate application - more likely the specified format of the application - for availing VR.
Mere formal application may not suffice. You may have to meet your reporting officer or higher authorities personally and explain and justify the circumstances, thereby convincing them of your bona fide intentions.
I am confident that your dedicated service of 21 years shall not be ignored, and your requests shall be acceded to.
Warm regards.

Thank you very much, sir. However, leave without pay does not qualify as service, and therefore, it cannot be used in place of the notice period. Some individuals in my office believe that taking extended CCL (Compensatory Casual Leave) is an unfair advantage and should not be approved. I acknowledge that I may not be entitled to it. I am simply trying to ascertain if there are any provisions in the rules that permit the deduction of salary from my outstanding dues instead of serving the notice period.
