  1. How about the increase in the pension elements after the Govt released orders for enhancing certain allowances by 25%? Govt of India must look into this matter urgently and issue orders increasing the pension by 25% for the CG Pensioners.

  2. Sir, is there any increase in Transport Allowance consequent on the reach of 50% DA as ordered for Children Education Allowance to 15,000/-

    1. No Transport allowance is not included in the list of allowances that automatically increase according DA percentage

  3. sir
    i have already claimed the earlier celing i.e. Rs. 12000/- between April 2010 to Dec 2010. Now I have submitted Reimbursement claim for Rs. 3000/- alongwith fee receipts for the quarter Jan 2011 to March 2011. What amount is reimbursable to me. Is it will be Rs. 3000/- for Rs. 750/-? Kindly clarify.

      1. you are kind enough to revert to query at the earliest possible. you mean to say that only rs. 750/- (MAX) is permissible if anyone has already claimed rs. 12000/- upto the quarter ending dec 2010?

  4. I have submitted the reimbursement bill of tuition fees of my two children, the total of CEA was respectively 14400/- & 13760/-, and the last quarter of both the CEA was respectively 3140/- & 2960/-, as per the increase in D.A what will be the total CEA reimbursement 12750/- of 12000/- for each child, what amount of CEA I will get for 2010-2011 for my both children respectively. My office have paid me total amount of CEA for both the children is 24000/-, paid amount is as per rule or I am entitle to get Rs. 25500/-

    1. Dear kapoor
      As the Da increase is wef 1/1/11 and thus as per Academic year CEA will be proportionately be increased as Rs13250 (25% of 5000 only) for 2010- 2011.Our PAO taken a stand that if the Tuition fee bills paid after 1/2011 will only get this proportionate increase( some what logical)
