Please note that exemption on Children Education Allowance can be claimed only if your employer pays you children education allowance. In the event of your not receiving children education allowance from your organization, you will not be able to view the screen to enter your declaration for claiming the exemption.
In case your organization offers children education allowance as part of salary to you and you do not specify the number of children in HRWorks, the amount you receive as children education allowance will be fully taxed.
In the table titled "Children details for Education Allowance exemption", you will see a table in which you can specify the number of children for each month in the financial year.
