Children Education Allowance Form for Central Government Employee - Summary

The Children Education Allowance Form PDF (CEA) is essential for Central Government employees in India seeking financial support for their children’s schooling and hostel facilities. The allowance amount for a differently-abled child is double that of a normal child, highlighting the government’s commitment to supporting all families. Government employees can claim educational expenses (hostel and school) under the Children Education Allowance (CEA). This form includes various components, allowances, and recent updates relevant to educational allowances under the CEA.

Requirements for Reimbursement

To get reimbursement for educational expenses, a certificate from the head of the educational institution is mandatory. This certificate must confirm that the child was enrolled in the school for the previous academic year. For claiming a hostel subsidy, parents need a certificate from the institution’s head, showing the actual costs incurred for lodging and boarding.
