Husband and Wife Govt Servants – CEA and HS
If both spouses are government servants, there may be questions about how to handle certain benefits, such as Children Education Allowance (CEA) and Hostel Subsidy (HS). It’s important to understand the rules and regulations around these benefits and ensure that both spouses are taking advantage of them appropriately. Additionally, it may be necessary to communicate with the relevant authorities to ensure that both spouses are receiving the maximum benefit possible.
In case both the spouses are Government servants, only one of them can avail reimbursement under Children Education Allowance and Hostel Subsidy.

But from last six year my department also gives me a Children’s education allowance. After notice this I had applied for return the CEA to my department and get the clearance certificate and not to give me a CEA in feature with a specific reason. Bur HR department of my office reply me that there is no specific rule to return the CEA.
so please be guide me that under which rule/provision/regulation I can refund the CEA to my department and under which head they can accept/deposit my refunded amount.

You may get the declaration from your spouse office that I am availing the CEA from my wife office so I need not required. Because it should be availed in any one of them only.
