Children Education Allowance-DOPT Order
The Representatives of Staff Side- National Council insisted in the 46th meeting of National council that the Children Education Allowance should be paid to the two studying Children instead of restricting it to the eldest two children. We welcome the staff side’s view, but at the same time it’s unfortunate that it made us to feel that they are not worried about the unwanted procedure framed for claiming the Children Education Allowance.
It has been clearly stated in the first two lines of 2nd Para of OFFICE MEMORANDUM issued on 2nd September 2008 by DOP&T that ‘In order to ensure that Government servants have no difficulty in claiming reimbursement, the procedure under this Scheme is being kept simple.’
But these two guidelines, mentioned below make the above instruction meaningless.
1 “Reimbursement should henceforth be made on the submission of original receipts on the basis of self-certification by the Government servant.”
2. “Under this scheme, reimbursement can be claimed once every quarter. The amount that can be claimed in a quarter could be more than Rs.3000 and in another quarter less than Rs.3000, subject to the annual ceiling of Rs.12000 /-per child being maintained”.
Is an admission certificate from the school not enough for claiming CEA?
Why don’t we avoid needless paper work by just giving Rs.1000/-per month as CEA?

AS PER GOVT ORDERS CEA IS PAYABLE FOR THE IST DEGREE/ DIPLOMA AFTER HSC/ DIPLOMA ADMISSABLE AFTER 10 TH.
THE B TECH LATERAL ENTRY ADMISSION IS THE IST DEGREE AFTER HSC/ DIPLOMA ADMISSIBLE AFTER 10 TH CLASS.
PL TELL ME WHETHER CEA IS ADMISSABLE FOR B TECH AFTER DIPLOMA ADMISSBALE AFTER 10 TH CLASS.

Sir, the condition of two eldest children for education allowance, is totally illogical and an injustice with the senior employees who hardly managed to educate their eldest children within a meager education allowance i.e. Rs. 40/- per month (pre revised). Now, when the commission has recommended a good amount of education allowance , they have simply been deprived from this facility. It is not understood as to why senior employees are being discriminated by putting the condition of two eldest children? Why their younger children , who are studying in lower classes, are not eligible for education allowances ? It is a case of disparity and anomaly and should be looked in by the concern official/ministry so that this may be rectified immediately.
While replying to query of Dinesh Y. rai on Aug 12, 2010, you said Except examination fee, the term fee and fee for extra curricular activities are admissible for claiming children education allowance. But the word “term fee” is not mentioned in para 1(e) of OM dt. 02.09.2008 , that’s why clams of “term fee” are being rejected. is there any clarification on this.

I need a clarification whether I can claim music tuition fees under CEA, as my child goes to a state govt recognized music school as there are no music classes taken in the school where she studies.
Please confirm the minimum age limit of school going children for entitlement of CEA. As because, DOPT vide its O.M. No.12011/03/2008-Estt.(Allowance) dated 11th November,2008 have clarified that age limit for physically disabled children will be from 5 to 22 years. If there is no limit of age for normal children, how is it possible to fix the minimum age limit for disabled children by increasing 5 years more? Does Govt. of India intend to deprive handicapped children through enhancement of age limit? Is a Govt. Employee having disabled children and going to school below the age of 5 years not entitled to get Children Education Allowance unlike having normal children? Is it not ridiculous? Please clarify.

Yours faithfully,
When I claimed hostel subsidy and tuition fees under the new Children Education Allowance Scheme for my daughter, my application was returned as not eligible on the following grounds:
As per OM No. 12011/08/2010-Estt (AL) dated 30th Dec 2010 “It is clarified that for the purpose of hosted subsidy, station would be demarcated by the first three digits of the PIN Code of the area where the Government Servant is posed and/or residing’. ‘The first three digits of the PIN Code indicate a Revenue District”.
Based on the OM, since the pin code for my place of posting/residence is 641018/641015 and pin code for the residential school which is about 50 kms from the place of posting/residence is 641302 having a common first three digits of PIN Code my application was returned as not eligible.
It is not possible to operate as a day scholar to a place which about 50 kms from residence though the first three digits of the PIN Code of the area where the Government Servant is posed and/or residing considering as same station. Though it is in same district having common first three digits of PIN Code the place of school is in a different “Taluk” 50 Kms apart.
As per the clarification issued by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions, New Delhi vide Memorandum No.12011/03/2008-Estt(Allow) dated 11.11.2008, Hostel Subsidy means expenses incurred by the Government servant if he has to keep his children in the hostel of residential school away from the station at which he is posted/or is residing.
Can any one kindly clarify that what is the solution to claim hostel subsidy in this situation?
Sir,

But it was not cleared that the maximum childred would be eldest two children or any two children at a time. There was my one more query that claim case relating to 2008-09 passed with reference to instrunctions contained in the 6th Pay Commission would be recovered as per clarifications through Office Memorandum No. 12011/16/2009 (Allowance) dated 13-11-2009 or not.
