Maternity leave of Govt. women employees increased
New Delhi (PTI): In a move that would bring cheer to women government employees, the Centre has increased maternity leave from three to six months besides introducing paid leave for two years to take care of their children.
As per the notification, which comes into force from September 1 and is issued by the Department of Personnel, women employees will now enjoy 180 days of Maternity Leave as against the existing ceiling of 135 days.
The 'Child Care Leave' provides a paid leave period of a maximum of two years (730 days) during the entire service of a woman "for taking care of up to two children whether for rearing or to look after any of their needs like examination, sickness, etc."
It can also be availed of by a woman employee having just one child and be taken in addition to the extended maternity leave and will in no way affect the seniority. The Child Care Leave can only be taken for children up to the age of 18. The order states that "Child Care Leave may also be allowed for the third year as leave not due (without the production of a medical certificate). It may be combined with leave of the kind due and admissible."

Hi Suresh,
Can you please provide me with the link to the notification that comes into effect from 1st September 2008? I also wanted to know one thing: I work for an IT company that is a private firm. Is the notification applicable to my company as well?
Please revert back at the earliest.
