The amendments to the Central Civil Services (Leave) Rules, 1972, were announced by the Personnel Ministry.<br \/>The revised rules also extend benefits to the &#8220;commissioning mother&#8221; the intending mother of the child born through surrogacy. These benefits include child care leave and 15 days of paternity leave for the &#8220;commissioning father.&#8221;<br \/>According to the amended rules, in cases involving surrogacy, both the surrogate and the commissioning mother with fewer than two surviving children are eligible to qualify for 180 days of maternity leave if either or both are government servants. This provision addresses a significant gap, as previously, there were no regulations granting maternity leave to women government employees in the case of surrogacy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has-el-gap el-gap-default elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-49a751b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"49a751b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9a88bed\" data-id=\"9a88bed\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4bef96 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c4bef96\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 16.604px; font-family: 'Public Sans', system-ui, sans-serif; font-weight: var(--title-fw-bold);\">ALSO READ<\/span><\/p><h4 class=\"is-title post-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/legalmitra.com\/index.php\/2024\/06\/24\/clean-streets-for-pm-how-about-for-everyone\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">CLEAN STREETS FOR PM?

According to the Central Civil Services (Leave) (Amendment) Rules, 2024, existing provisions allow a female government servant and single male government servant to avail of child care leave for a maximum period of 730 days during their entire service. This leave can be utilized for rearing or attending to the needs of their two eldest surviving children, including education and sickness.<br \/>The amendments clarify that a &#8220;surrogate mother&#8221; is the woman who carries the child on behalf of the commissioning mother, while the term &#8220;commissioning father&#8221; pertains to the intending father of the child born through surrogacy.
