Please clarify whether KIDZEE is recognized by Government of India for claiming CEA for my daughter who is studying in KIDZEE. Please clarify with required orders.
Harish says
KID_ZEE is not a reconised educational Institution. When I asked about recognition certificate. Its few employees started giving wrong justification. In this way I lost my Rs. 15000/- which I was supposed to get as CEA.
So be careful while considering KID-ZEE. This is a fraud school. It don’t fulfil requirement for getting children education allowance.

Alak says
Sir/Madam,
I am a central government employee. My son, a student of Class-IX, is studying at a CBSE affiliated school where there is shortage of hostel seat. As the place is away from my headquarter, I have to keep him in a private hostel. The rate of private hostel and the school hostel is of same amount. Can I claim hostel subsidy and Children Education Allowance, as I came to know that Children Education Allowance and Hostel subsidy cannot be availed concurrently. It is confusing as What are the components of Children Education Allowance? In my opinion Tuition fee, Admission fee, hostel charge, cost of text books, a set of copies, etc. should be reimbursable with a ceiling limit. Please clarify.
Regards.
