I have a question Sir actually I am a government employee in India.My mother has recently gone under hip replacement surgery and I have borne all the expenses of surgery of my mother.In India a government employee is entitled to medical reimbursement if any one of his family member undergoes medical treatment including surgery etc but this medical reimbursement is governed by certain rules. As per these rules a family has been defined as: Clause (e) "Family" means wife or husband, children including adopted children, step children and parents living with the government servant and wholly dependent upon him; [Explanation:- Parents in the definition of family shall be treated as dependent on government servant provided own income of either parent does not exceed rupees 2500 per month.] Later the above rule was ammended as: The explanation below clause (e) shall be substituted by the following:- "Parents in the definition of family will include only such parents whose monthly income does not exceed rupees 5000 per month." From the above cited references what conclusion can be drawn.Is it monthly income only one parent or of both the parents. Please reply

Hello A H Wani,

I'd really like to help you with this, and I sincerely wish you the best with this difficult situation, but I'm afraid it's not clear to me. Given everything that you say, it sounds as if the rupees 5,000 is an aggregate, i.e. the income of both parents, but really you should check with some government authority figure to find out how it is interpreted by them.

I wish you and your family the best.

Best regards,
Kirk

Hello, I would like to ask a question; Which one of the following is correct 1.Does anyone know where can I find a bookstore? or 2. Does anyone know where I can find a bookstore? Thank you

Hello anasge,

The first option is correct. This is an example of a reported question and in reported questions we use normal word order, without any inversion.

You can read more about reported questions on this page.
