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

(ii) whether the admissible amount  per annum per child  (annual ceiling of Rs.15000/-) on  account of CEA can be reimbursed  in full in the first quarter of the  financial/academic year itself.

(i) It is clarified that a Government servant is allowed to get 50% of the  total amount subject to the over all  annual ceiling in the first quarter and  the remaining amount in third and  or fourth quarter. 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.
