Consequent upon the decision
taken by the Government on the recommendations made by the Seventh Central Pay
Commission on the subject of Children Education Allowance Scheme, the following
instructions are being issued in suppression of this Department's OM dated

(a) The amount fixed for
reimbursement of Children Education allowance will be Rs.2250/-pm.
(b) The amount fixed for
reimbursement of Hostel Subsidy will be Rs. 6750/-pm.
(c) In case both the spouses are
Government servants, only one of them can avail reimbursement under Children
Education Allowance.
(d) The above limits would be
automatically raised by 25% every time the Dearness Allowance on the revised
pay structure goes up by 50%. The allowance will be double for differently
abled children.
2. Further, reimbursement will be
done just once a year, after completion of the financial year. For
reimbursement of CEA, a certificate from the head of institution, where the
ward of government employee studies, will be sufficient for this purpose. The
certificate should confirm that the child studied in the school during the
previous academic year. For Hostel Subsidy, a similar certificate from the head
of institution will suffice, with the additional requirement that the
certificate should mention the amount of expenditure incurred by the government
servant towards lodging and boarding in the residential complex. The amount of
expenditure mentioned, or the ceiling as mentioned above, whichever is lower,
shall be paid to the employee.
3. These orders shall be
effective from 1st July, 2017.
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.
