Sir,
ReplyDeleteplease clearify that I one has two daughter (one born before 87 and other born after 87) and one son born after 87, are eligible for children education allowance or not.
Sir,
ReplyDeleteplease clearify that If one has two daughter (one born before 87 and other born after 87) and one son born after 87, are eligible for children education allowance or not. OR one is eligible to get only two childrens education allowance in a calender year out of three or more.
Sir,
ReplyDeleteCEA is definitely a form of encouraging education and aiding GS. But it is encouraging corruption too, as GS submit fake bills to grab Rs.12,000. Can it not be a fixed allowance granted to all GS at the beginning of academic year on production of proof that children are studying. This will help saving processing time of dealing hands, even while aiding GS meet the genuine educational needs of their children.

ReplyDeleteAll Railway employees Salaries,PLB Pay Commission arrear should be done through Bank, Cash offices should be close because the revenue which is spoiled like on Divisional Cashier,Cashiers, Cash porter &RPF staff should be used for railway development or other purposes.
A LUM SUMP GRANT OF RS 1000/- PER CHAILD SHOULD BE ALLOWED BY THE GOVT. TO AVOID THE CHAOUS OF SUBMITTING BILLS IN SUPPORT OF CLAIMS ETC. MOST OF THE EMPOYEES SUBMITTE FURGEE AND INFATED CLAIMS
ReplyDeleteSir,
ReplyDeleteKVS is denying children education allowance to its teacher employees with the contention that VVN (Vidyalaya Vikas Nidhi) is not coming under the Definition of Children Education Allowance !!
VVN is not defined anywhere but charged from all students from Class 1 to Class 12. Separate tuition fees is charged from Class 9 in addition to VVN. No other fee like Library Fee, Laboratory Fee, Sports/Games Fee, Bldg maintenance fee, furniture fee is charged from students but the KVS is not reimbursing VVN to its employess. This is highly objectionable and misinterpretation of the spirit of the circular & 6CPC recommendation.
Sir, My son is studying in Kendriya Vidyalaya.Whereas his Computer Fees has been paid the Nidhi was denied.Nidhi is a major chunk of his total fees.I do not have total clarity on reimbursement of the Nidhi fees.Help me out on : sekharam@rediffmail.com
ReplyDeleteThank you.
As per the reccommendations of the sixth pay commission some expenses towards CEAS have been covered but the transportation cost for carrying the children to the school has not been covered. In big cities like Mumbai, this contributes towards a major expense and this cost comes out to be around Rs. 600/- per month which is more than what we pay to the school. To avoid mitigation and hardship suffered by the parents to meet this expense, DoPT may consider inclusion of transport cost in the CEAS. May be intimated at rajeshmishrakumar@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteRespected sir,
ReplyDeleteI wanted to ask you that i m having three children 2 daughters and one son as my first child(daughter) is suffering from cerebral pailacy 75% and not studing in any school or institute so i am not getng any allowance for her so in place of her do i be getting that for my son
Respected Sir,
ReplyDeletewith reference to DOPT order for CEA for two children upto 12th std. It includes Tution fee, admission fee ,laboratory fee etc. but school charges misc. fees. gratuity fee etc. which are not covered under CEA and not reiimbursed by the office. Also Sports fees/ Game fees which students are taken admission in private academy which is also payable or only school admission for games or sports will be reimbursed. Please clarify whether sports /game fee can be claimed without school receipts like purchase of school uniforms and submit the receipt.
What is meant by one set of books. My daughter reads in class XII. The school has issued no booklist for the class XII. I think no school issues booklist for class XI and XII. I have purchased three text books of physics, three text books of biology, two text books of chemistry and two text books of mathmetics. As such I have submitted all the bills for the purchase of those books to my office for reimbursement. My office says one set of books means one book for each subject. My bills does not exceeds the limit as stipulated in the scheme (CEA).
ReplyDeleteI would like to know whether should I be reimbursed all the expenses I have made for the purchase of those books. Please let me know.
Thanking you,
Goutam Dutta
