Grant of Child Care Leave to female railway servants

1.            A doubt has been raised by some of the Zonal Railways as to whether LHAP is to be considered as Earned Leave like LAP for the purpose of grant of Child Care Leave. 

2.         It is clarified that LHAP is not to be considered as Earned Leave for the purpose of grant of Child Care Leave.  As such, a female railway servant may be granted CCL even in the case she has LHAP at her credit.
