Indian women bureaucrats will not have to disclose intimate details about their menstrual cycle and mammography after all.
The All India Services (Performance Appraisal Report) Rules of 2007, introduced in March, sought out the “detailed menstrual history and history of LMP [last menstrual period] including date of last confinement [maternity leave],” but after a public outcry the government dropped the questions.
The revised rules require the women to supply the same information as their male counterparts, such non intrusive information as blood sugar level, lipid profile, liver and kidney function tests, cardiac profile, urine analysis, etc. Breath easy
