Women in govt service to get 3 yrs' child care leave
16 Sep 2008, 0826 hrs IST, Ashish Sinha,TNN
NEW DELHI: This is one rule that could turn women in India Inc green with envy. The Centre has not only increased maternity leave for its employees to six months but has also cleared paid leave for two years to take care of children.
The order, effective from September 1, increases maternity leave of women employees from 135 days to a cool 180 days for each of their two children. From now on, women employees can take paid leave up to two years (730 days) during their career for "taking care" of their two children without affecting their seniority.
Even if a woman has only one child, she can take the two-year leave. Termed "child care leave", this will be besides the maternity break they are entitled to. The new rules came into force on September 1.
Adding to the bonanza, a woman employee can avail of child care leave in any combination till her two children are 18 years of age. In line with the Sixth Pay Commission proposals, the new leave regime for women means that during their stint with the government, they can avail paid leave of as much as three years, provided they do it only for two children.
The child care leave can be taken for any of reason, including "rearing" or "to look after any of their needs like examination, sickness etc". Women in the private sector are often hard-pressed for such leave beyond the maternity break (rarely beyond 90 days), besides the regular quota of earned, casual and medical leave.
"The new rule has come as a godsend. I can now devote time to my son when he needs it the most. The best part is I can take this leave till he is 18," said a director-level IAS officer. Contrast it with what a senior corporate executive said: "I attended office up to two days before my child was born. I had to save as much of my 90-day maternity leave so that I could devote time to my child later. The entire period is over now and I am back to work. I now leave my baby at my mother's house and come to office."
The government has notified that child care leave can also be availed in continuation of the six-month maternity break. It means that a woman employee deciding to have only one child can continue on paid leave for two-and-a-half years at a stretch.
Of course, she has the option of saving some of it for exigencies and, above all, she continues to enjoy her share of the regular leaves. The new regime will definitely make government jobs much more attractive not only for women but also for men as the couple would be assured that at least the mother would be with the child when needed. Semi-government establishments — like PSUs, banks, insurance companies — should be expected to adopt the new women-friendly system sooner or later.

States want Centre to bear 50 pc burden of pay revision
New Delhi, Sep 16 (PTI) The VAT panel wants the Union Government to bear at least half of the financial burden that the states will have to bear following the implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations.
"At least 50 per cent of the additional financial burden of the states as a result of the Centre's decision on the Sixth Central Pay Commission should be shared by the Central Government," Chairman of Empowered Committee of State Finance Ministers on VAT Asim Dasgupta told reporters here today.
The pay panel's recommendation on pay revision of the Central Government employees is to be implemented from the current month itself.
Many states like Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Chhattisgarh and Tamil Nadu have also decided to go for pay revision of their employees.
However, in case of special category and north-eastern states, the VAT panel asked the Centre to bear the entire additional burden of the pay revision.
Dasgupta said another option was that financial burden was fully accommodated by the Thirteenth Finance Commission, while assessing expenditure needs of the states.
He stressed the Commission should work on modalities, which would provide a more justified relief to the states.
Referring to the royalty on coal and other minerals, the VAT panel asked the Thirteenth Pay Commission to revise it frequently and wanted that the states were not denied their legitimate share on royalties on oil and power. PTI

Antony favours armed forces, wants anomalies in Sixth CPC sorted out
4 comments at 7:11 AM
Defence Minister A K Antony has strongly favoured sorting out of anomalies in the Sixth Central Pay Commission (CPC) notification raised by the three services chiefs in their representation to the government.
In his latest letter to Finance Minister P Chidambaram this week, Antony raised the issues, including the ones relating to Personnel Below Officer Rank (PBORs), top Defence Ministry sources said in New Delhi on Friday.
Yes, the Defence Minister has written a letter to the Finance Minister in which he has raised certain issues relating to the disparities that has crept into the pay commission notification, the sources confirmed.
Among the issues raised by Antony was the one relating to the extant pensionary weightage and sought that it be restored till the time the proposal for lateral entry for them into paramilitary and central police forces was approved and implemented.
Under the Sixth CPC proposal, the PBORs are to be given an opportunity for lateral entry into the paramilitary and central police forces, but they would forego 50 per cent of their pension calculated on the basis of their last drawn pay at retirement.
But the government is yet to approve the proposal for lateral entry, which has led to a situation where the PBORs lose out both on re-employment and pension fronts.
Most PBORs retire at a relatively young age of about 35 years, after putting in about 15 to 17 years of service in the armed forces, a move aimed at keeping the fighting force young.

States ask Centre to bear 50 pc burden of sixth pay revision
New Delhi, Sep 21 (PTI) Not keen on again bearing a financial stress that fell on them after implementation of the Fifth Pay Commission, state governments want the Centre to share half the burden of pay revision of their employees, in case they go for the next salary hike.
"The states would never forget the effect of the Centre's decision on recommendations of the Fifth Central Pay Commission regarding pay revision on states' finances through consequences of pay revision at the states levels. This had resulted in a financial crisis for the states," VAT panel said in its presentation to the 13th Finance Commission.
The Empowered Committee of state finance ministers on VAT said that during that time, the Centre had agreed to bear half of the burden of the states but did not actually provide the assistance.
The VAT panel said the Sixth Pay Commission will "consequently cause the states to take certain decisions for the pay structure of their employees and others with serious financial implications".
When the Centre announcing the pay revision, it is a general practice for states to go for pay revision of its employees.
Due to the Sixth Pay revision, the Centre will bear an additional burden of Rs 15,700 crore on the central budget and Rs 6,400 crore on the railway budget. PTI

Reimbursement not to be stopped if child fails: Govt.
New Delhi (PTI): If your child fails, dont worry! The Government has said reimbursement of Children Education Allowance will not be stopped to its employees despite poor performance by their wards.
According to a notification issued by the Department of Personnel, the children education allowance shall have no connection with the performance of the child in his or her class.
"In other words, even a child fails in a particular class, the reimbursement of Children Education Allowance shall not be stopped," the notification said.
It said the Children Education Allowance and Reimbursement of tuition fee which were hitherto payable separately will be merged and will henceforth be known as "Children Education Allowance Scheme."
Under the scheme, tuition fee, admission fee, laboratory fee, special fee charged for agriculture, electronics, music, fee for practical work, library fee, games and extra- curricular fee shall be paid.
This also includes reimbursement for purchase of one set of text books and notebooks, two sets of uniforms and one set of school shoes which can be claimed for a child, in a year, the notification said, adding the annual ceiling has been fixed at Rs 12,000.
Under this scheme, reimbursement can be availed by Government servants for maximum of two children.
