1. It means that in a continuous set of four years, only two journeys will be exempt and only one of these two journeys, if opted, can be claimed b/w jan1 2015 and dec31 2015. (im not so sure about these dates. the question says the block is 10-13, so im thinking that the 4 financial years are - 10-11, 11-12, 12-13 and 13-14. so, the calendar year after 13-14 is jan1 15 to dec 31 15). am i ryt?

2. exemption is only available for 2 children that were born on or after 1 october 1998. all other children's expenses are eligible for exemption.
