7th CPC simplified the procedure for reimbursement. No need to submit bills, receipts, vouchers, and invoices for reimbursement. Bonafide certificate of children from the head of the institution is enough for reimbursement.
Model Format of Bonafide Certificate
The reimbursement application shall contain a bonafide certificate from the school to ensure that the child has studied in the previous academic year and also mention the amount of expenditure incurred.
For Hostel Subsidy, the same bonafide certificate should mention the amount of expenditure incurred by the Government employees towards lodging and boarding in the residential complex
