Leave Rules - Surrogacy & Commissioning Mother / Father

 

 Leave Rules - Surrogacy & Commissioning Mother / Father

Both Surrogate Mother and Commissioning Mother, if working in Indian Railways, are eligible for 180 days Maternity Leave from 18.06.2024 onward. (RBE No. 52/2025 – effective from 18.06.2024)

👉 Tip to remember the date: 18 (Date) + 6 (Month) = 24 (Year) → 18.06.2024

Surrogate Mother: A woman who bears a child on behalf of another person or a couple, typically via artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization. 

ML stands for Maternity Leave

PL stands for Paternity Leave

Role	Definition	Leave Eligibility
Surrogate Mother	Gives birth to the child for intended parents	ML – 180 days (if Railway Servant) ❌ Not eligible for CCL
Commissioning Mother	Legal mother of child born through surrogacy	ML – 180 days (if Railway Servant) ✅ Eligible for CCL
Commissioning Father	Legal father of child born through surrogacy	PL – 15 days (within 6 months)

Practical Examples:

Situation 1 – Surrogate Mother (the woman who gives birth)

👩‍🍼 Example:
Mrs. Lakshmi, a Railway employee working as a Clerk in the Personnel Department, agrees to carry a baby for another couple (the intended parents). She delivers the baby on 20th July 2024.

✅ Since she is a Railway servant, she is eligible for 180 days Maternity Leave (ML) from the date of delivery (20.07.2024).
❌ However, she cannot take Child Care Leave (CCL), because the baby is not legally hers — she only carried it for the commissioning parents.

Situation 2 – Commissioning Mother (the legal mother)

👩‍👧 Example:
Mrs. Rekha, a Senior Section Engineer in S&T Department, becomes the legal mother of the baby born through surrogacy (baby delivered by Mrs. Lakshmi on 20.07.2024).

✅ Mrs. Rekha is also a Railway servant. Hence, she is eligible for 180 days Maternity Leave from the date she takes the baby in her care (say, 20.07.2024).
✅ She is also eligible for CCL (Child Care Leave) in future, because she is now the legal mother.

Situation 3 – Commissioning Father / Surrogate Father

👨‍👧 Example:
Mr. Ravi, who is Mrs. Rekha’s husband and works as a Chief Office Superintendent, becomes the legal father of the child born through surrogacy.

✅ He is entitled to 15 days Paternity Leave, to be availed within 6 months from the date of the child’s birth (that is, up to 19.01.2025).

छुट्टी के नियम - सरोगेसी और कमीशनिंग माता/पिता

सरोगेट मां और कमीशनिंग मां दोनों,यदि आप भारतीय रेलवे में कार्यरत हैं,18.06.2024 से 180 दिनों के मातृत्व अवकाश के लिए पात्र हैं। (आरबीई संख्या 52/2025 - 18.06.2024 से प्रभावी)

👉 तारीख याद रखने की टिप: 18 (तारीख) + 6 (माह) = 24 (वर्ष) → 18.06.2024

सरोगेट मां: एवह महिला जो किसी अन्य व्यक्ति या दम्पति की ओर से, आमतौर पर कृत्रिम गर्भाधान या इन विट्रो निषेचन के माध्यम से, बच्चा पैदा करती है।

भूमिका	परिभाषा	छुट्टी की पात्रता
किराए की कोख	इच्छित माता-पिता के लिए बच्चे को जन्म देती है	एमएल - 180 दिन (यदि रेलवे कर्मचारी हैं) ❌ सीसीएल के लिए पात्र नहीं
कमीशनिंग मदर	सरोगेसी से पैदा हुए बच्चे की कानूनी माँ	एमएल - 180 दिन (यदि रेलवे कर्मचारी हैं) ✅ सीसीएल के लिए पात्र
कमीशनिंग पिता	सरोगेसी से पैदा हुए बच्चे का कानूनी पिता	पीएल – 15 दिन (6 महीने के भीतर)

व्यावहारिक उदाहरण:

स्थिति 1 - सरोगेट मदर (जन्म देने वाली महिला)

👩‍🍼 उदाहरण:
रेलवे कार्मिक विभाग में क्लर्क के पद पर कार्यरत श्रीमती लक्ष्मी, एक अन्य दंपत्ति (इच्छुक माता-पिता) के लिए एक बच्चे को जन्म देने के लिए सहमत हो जाती हैं। वह 20 जुलाई 2024 को बच्चे को जन्म देती हैं।

✅ चूंकि वह रेलवे कर्मचारी है, इसलिए वह प्रसव की तिथि (20.07.2024) से 180 दिनों के मातृत्व अवकाश (एमएल) के लिए पात्र है।
❌ हालाँकि, वह चाइल्ड केयर लीव (सीसीएल) नहीं ले सकती, क्योंकि बच्चा कानूनी तौर पर उसका नहीं है - वह इसे केवल कमीशनिंग माता-पिता के लिए ले जा रही थी।

स्थिति 2 - कमीशनिंग मदर (कानूनी मां)

👩‍👧 उदाहरण:
एस एंड टी विभाग में वरिष्ठ अनुभाग इंजीनियर श्रीमती रेखा, सरोगेसी के माध्यम से पैदा हुए बच्चे की कानूनी मां बन जाती हैं (बच्चे को 20.07.2024 को श्रीमती लक्ष्मी द्वारा जन्म दिया गया)।

✅ श्रीमती रेखा भी रेलवे कर्मचारी हैं। इसलिए, वे बच्चे को अपनी देखभाल में लेने की तिथि (मान लीजिए, 20.07.2024) से 180 दिनों के मातृत्व अवकाश की पात्र हैं।
✅ वह भविष्य में सीसीएल (चाइल्ड केयर लीव) के लिए भी पात्र है, क्योंकि अब वह कानूनी तौर पर मां है।

स्थिति 3 – कमीशनिंग पिता / सरोगेट पिता

👨‍👧 उदाहरण:
श्री रवि, जो श्रीमती रेखा के पति हैं और मुख्य कार्यालय अधीक्षक के रूप में कार्यरत हैं, सरोगेसी के माध्यम से पैदा हुए बच्चे के कानूनी पिता बन जाते हैं।

✅ वह 15 दिनों के पितृत्व अवकाश का हकदार है, जिसका लाभ बच्चे के जन्म की तारीख से 6 महीने के भीतर लिया जा सकता है (अर्थात 19.01.2025 तक)।
