Children Education Allowance Form for Central Government Employee - Summary

The Children Education Allowance Form PDF (CEA) is crucial for Central Government employees in India who are looking for financial support for their children’s education and hostel facilities. The allowance amount for a differently-abled child is twice that of a normal child, which shows the government’s dedication to helping all families. Central Government employees can claim educational expenses for both hostel and school under the Children Education Allowance (CEA). This form provides various components, allowances, and the latest updates concerning educational allowances under the CEA.

Requirements for Reimbursement

To get reimbursement for educational expenses, it is important to have a certificate from the head of the educational institution. This certificate must confirm that the child was enrolled in the school for the previous academic year. If parents want to claim a hostel subsidy, they will need a certificate from the institution’s head showing the actual costs incurred for lodging and boarding.
