The reimbursement of Children Education Allowance is admissible only for the first child born after failure of sterilization operation. |

Frontloading of the entire amount in the first and second quarters is not allowed. (ii) A Government servant can claim full amount subject to the annual ceiling of Rs.15000/- in the last quarter. |

It should be waive off so that the younger children of the senior employees may also be entitled for CEA. I hope that concerned official will consider it sympathetically and issue its clarification.
