Employees Leave: Government employees can take 30 days leave, salary will not be deducted; Big decision of Modi government

This arrangement helps employees meet their family obligations, especially those who want to take time off to care for their elderly parents.

Employees Leave: Central government employees are allowed to avail 30 days of earned leave for any personal reason, including caring for their elderly parents, Union Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh said in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday. He said this provision is applicable under the Central Civil Services Rules, 1972.

In a written reply, the minister said that central government employees are entitled to 30 days of earned leave, 20 days of half pay leave, eight days of casual leave and two days of restricted leave per year. These leaves can be used by employees for their personal needs, including taking care of elderly parents.

Other eligible leaves also available

Jitendra Singh also clarified that apart from these leaves, other eligible leaves are also available to the employees. This arrangement helps the employees to fulfill their family obligations, especially those who want to take time off to take care of their elderly parents.

This decision can be considered very important in the current social scenario. With increasing age, the elderly need more care and many times working people find it difficult to fulfill this responsibility. This provision helps employees to strike a balance between work and family life which can also have a positive impact on their efficiency and mental health.

Effective implementation

However, the success of this decision depends on how effectively it is implemented. This provision is definitely a step in the right direction as it promotes social and family values. Also, it gives employees an opportunity to fulfill their duty towards their elderly parents which holds special importance in Indian culture.
