Children Education Allowance reimbursement can be availed by Government Servants upto to a maximum of 2 children.
(c) Reimbursement as indicated above will be applicable for expenditure on the education of
school going children only i.e., for children from classes nursery to twelfth, including classes eleventh and twelfth held by junior colleges or schools affiliated to Universities or Boards of Education.
(d) Henceforth, the reimbursement of
Children Education Allowance shall have no nexus with the performance of the child in his class. In other words, even if a child fails in a particular class, the reimbursement of
Children Education Allowance shall not be stopped.
(e) Reimbursement for the following items can be claimed under this Scheme:
Tuition Fee, admission fee, laboratory fee, special fee charged for agriculture, electronics, music or any other subject, Fee charged for practical work under the programme of work experience, fee paid for the use of any aid or appliance by the child, library fee, games/sports fee and fee for extra-curricular activities.

(h) In case both the spouses are Government servants, only one of them can avail reimbursement under Children Education Allowance.
(i) Hostel subsidy will be reimbursed upto the maximum limit of Rs.3000 per month per child subject to a maximum of 2 children. However, both hostel subsidy and Children Education Allowance cannot be availed concurrently.
(j) The above limits would be automatically raised by 25% every time the Dearness Allowance on the revised pay structure goes up by 50%.

These orders shall be effective from 1st September, 2008. 4. Insofar as persons serving in the Indian Audit and Accounts Department are concerned, these orders issue in consultation with the Comptroller and auditor General of India.
