RECORD NOTE OF THE 5th NATIONAL ANOMALY COMMITTEE (NAC) MEETING HELD ON 9TH JUNE, 2015
Item No.11: Children Education Allowance - Denial thereof.
Staff Side stated that Reimbursement of Children Education Allowance is
admissible for two eldest children studying in schools affiliated to
Board Education. This was stated to be contrary to the spirit and
letters of the recommendation of the VI CPC. Therefore, Staff Side
demanded that the allowance be made admissible to any two school going
children and also that for the children studying in nursery primary and
middle class level, affiliation to any Education Board may not be
insisted upon.
Official Side stated that reimbursement of CEA is a welfare measure
extended by the Govt. of India to its employees children studying in
recognised schools. Government has taken a considerate view under
National Population Policy and RTE. Therefore, this issue is not an
anomaly.
