COMMENTS
CEA is only admissable for eldest two surviving child unless the third or subsequent child is due to multiple birth in 2nd child birth. Hence no CEA is admissable for third child unless it is due to multiple birth and CEA can not be claimed 1st and 3rd child it is only for two eldest surviving children
My mam told me bring cea documents for not claiming cea because I am the third child but I am not able to find any documents for that or can you tell me what should I write on website so I can find
this is a authentic letter issued to Shri Ashutosh Garg, dy. Director, M/o Railways. I spoken to Mr. Garg in this regard on phone No.23304105 and he has confirmed.
authenticity is under question. there is no such person in DOPT
file number also changed.
Please say me I have three children. I want two children benifet of CEA
as 1st and last child. Please say me is it possible ?
Is this is for the Railway Department only? As other departments are following as per the earlier instructions i.e. reimbursement of the actual amount spent, if the amount spent is less than 2250/-.
