AMN /
Rajasthan Cabinet has decided to relax the two-child policy which was applicable to the state government employees, allowing them to have a third child in case of remarriage. The decision was taken at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje. Parliamentary Affairs Minister Rajendra Rathore told reporters last night that a state government employee will now be allowed to have one child from remarriage.
As per a government notification in June 2000, a candidate having more than two children is not eligible for government recruitment. An employee, whose third child is born after recruitment, is not given promotion for five years.
It was also decided by the Cabinet that permission from Finance department and Department of personnel will not be required for engaging retired government employees on contract basis in government departments.
