Reimbursement of tution fee for Kids of transferred PSU Employee
4 months ago
Sir,
I am working in a Central Govt PSU. I am transferred to a new location but I have paid first term of the school tution fees for my 2 kids. Since I was issued transfer order after the reopening of the school, Am I eligible for reimbursement of tution fees from my company as I have to pay school tution fees in the new location also. Kindly advise
A.Dear Client,
In the context of your transfer to a new location in a Central Government PSU and the payment of the first term school tuition fees for your two children, eligibility for reimbursement depends on the policies and regulations set by your company. Typically, many organizations have provisions for the reimbursement of school tuition fees when employees are transferred. Since you received the transfer order after the school's reopening, it is advisable to review your company's transfer and reimbursement policies. Check if there are specific guidelines addressing the timing of transfers in relation to school terms. If such policies exist, and your circumstances align with them, you may be eligible for reimbursement. It's crucial to communicate with your HR department, provide them with the necessary documents, such as fee receipts and transfer orders, and seek clarification on the reimbursement process based on your company's policies.
Thankyou

A.Dear Sir,
It is only a mercy petition and as of demand you cannot get it. You must go with the rules and if rules say that it cannot be refunded then you will get refund.
