Can any one tell me about the Hostel Subsidy. I am admitted my son in Sainik school (Army School) which is a boarding school and unique in nature similar school is not available where i am residing. As OM states that if the govt.servent has to keep his children in hostel then hostel subsidy is allowed.
Class naming convention is different for different schools. So what about nursery. One school admits a child of 4 in nursery some takes 3+ in nursery. So even if two children are of same age but in different schools one is in prenursery and one is in nursery ? So what about the reimbursement of tuition fee? Is there any age criteria?
"Children Education Allowance Scheme" - Classes from Nursery to Twelfth, here Nursery class means what, Is it one year earlier to class 1, two years earlier to class 2 or three years earlier to class 1.
Because some school pattern are like Nursery (3+ yrs), KG1(4+ yrs), KG2 (5+ yrs) and class 1 (6+ yrs), like wise Nursery, LKG, UKG, Class 1. These cases reimbursement is allowable as per rule for nursery class.
Whereas Delhi Public School pattern is Play Group or Pre-Nursery (3+ yrs), Nursery (4+ yrs), Preparatory (5+ yrs) and Class 1 (6+ yrs). If one children studying in DPS Pre-Nursery class, whether the reimbursement is allowable or not. Please clarify this.
