New rules have been introduced to amend the Central Civil Services (Leave) Rules, 1972. Specifically, rule 48 has been modified to allow for ‘Special Leave’ related to inquiries into sexual harassment. Aggrieved female government servants can now be granted leave for up to 90 days during the pendency of an inquiry under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013. This special leave will not be deducted from their regular leave account, providing crucial support during such sensitive situations. The amendment was made by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions (Department of Personnel and Training) and comes into effect upon its publication in the Official Gazette.
