NFIR General Secretary has written to the Railway Board regarding, not to recover the amount already paid as Children Education Allowance to Railway Employees.  

No. NFIR/6th CPC/Main/10/Pt.VII
dated 10.5.2010
The Secretary (E),
Railway Board,
New Delhi.

  

Dear Sir,

Sub::- Children Education Allowance Scheme – Implementation -reg.
 
Ref:- DoP&T O.M .No. 12011/03/2008 – Estt. (Allowance) dated 2nd September, 2008.

***
Pursuant to the DoP&T O.M. dated 2.9.2008, the Railway Board had issued orders for
payment of Children Education Allowance in the form of re-imbursement of tuition fee etc., upto a
maximum of two children with the total annual ceiling of Rs. 24000/-. Accordingly the employees
have submitted claims which were accepted and amounts paid by Zonal Railways etc..

The Railway Board had subsequently issued instructions vide letter No. E(W)2008/ED-2/4
dated 10.6.2009 that the re-imbursement is admissible for eldest two surviving children studying in
schools affiliated to Board of Education. Consequently, the Zonal Railways etc., have decided to
recover the amount from their salary on the plea that the amount was paid in respect of 2 children
regardless of their being elder or younger.

The NFIR contends that having already paid in terms of DoP&T O.M. dated 2 September,
2008, it would be unethical to recover the amount.

The Federation therefore urges upon the Railway Board to review the matter and issue
instructions to the General Managers of the Zonal Railways and Production Units not to recover the
amount already paid.

  

Yours faithfully,
(M.Raghavaiah)
General Secretary

  1. Sir,
    I have been paid tuition fee reimbursement (education allowance) up to March 2010 for my third child. After the clarification received from DOPT circular dated 13th November 2009 (for two eldest children only) I did not receive any payment. Now DDO has ordered to recover the amount paid to me from September 2008 to March 2010 with interest. As the payments were received only due to unclear orders and similarity with earlier orders of 5th pay commission, I requested to my DDO to not to recover the amount paid to me. But he is not agreeing with me.
    Kindly help and provide suitable solution.

    Regards
