nothing is taxable for hostel allowance bcoz the amount divided between two children is rs.190 p.m which is exempt and in case of education allowance this will be taxable at rs.300p.m.(if the amount paid in aggregrate for both the children)

otherwise if the amount paid given as per the children then taxable amount in case of hostel allowance is rs.(80+80)pm and in case of education allowance is rs.(400+400)pm
