Yes you can upto a max of Rs.100/- per month upto a max of 2 children.

Upto a max of Rs.300/- per month upto a max of 2 children if the children are staying in a hostel.

Hope your doubt is clear.

19 May 2008 Hi Ravi..

Children Education Allownace is exempt upto Rs.100 per month per child for maximum of 2 Children..i.e if u have 1 child and u recieve Rs.200 as CEA..Then 100*1*12=1200 would be exempt and balance Rs.1200 is taxable...

Regarding 80C..U can get deduction for Tution fees paid for full time education in India..

U can claim both at a time..

SEC 80 C .THESE TWO DEDUCTIONS ARE DIFFERENT.

80 C ALLOWS TUTION FEES PAID AS DEDUCTION UPTO RS ONE LAKH PER ANNUM (MAXIMUM DEDUCTION CLUBBED WITH ALL 80 C DEDUCTIONS).
