maxinrnm cost of tvro single passages. In cases, however, which necessarily
involve his returning by a different route, e.^r., an officer posted from Iraq to
India^ or from India to Burma, whilst on leave, it is not proposed to impose
such conditions, hut to provide him with a certificate for the maximum ad
missible for a single passage irrespective of the cost of his homeward journey.
Copy or Akmy Department letter to the Secretary, Military De
partment, India Oppice , No. 271/2 (Q. M. G.-2), dated the 15th
March 1928.
Overland journeys to, from or via Iraq.
With reference to paragraph 3 of your letter No. M. N.-24424)/33, dated the
4th January 1928,1 am directed to say that the limitation of expenditure for
sea journeys between India and England when single tickets are booked each
way is not restricted to £147 when credit in the passage account concerned
is in excess of that amount.
2. The same procedure is adopted with regard to the civil rules in
accordance with the note 5 below paragraph 1 of the " Rules for the Account
ing and Auditing of the Passage Concessions ". The following is the relevant
extract ;—
" .... Thus, in case an officer chooses to travel on single tickets both
homeward and back he will not be allowed any benefit in excess-
of the cost of a return passage by P. & O. 1st class B if the
only amount at his credit in the Personal Passage Accounts is
the cost of one return passage by P. an d O. 1st class B."
3. The Government of India consider that the position should be made
clear in the actual rules issued with Army Instruction (India) No. 5-S. of
1925 and, if the Secretary of State approves, a second clause will be added to
paragraph 4 (» of Appendix I to that Army Instruction (India), embodying
the provisions of the extract given in paragraph 2 above.
Copy op India Oppice letter to the Secretary to the Government op
India, Army Department, No. M. -2078/1928, dated the 4 th May 1928.
Maximum admissible for expenditure hy concession passengers in connection
with return passages between India and the United Kingdom.
With reference to your letter dated the 15th March 1928, No. 271/2 (Q.
M. G.-2), I am directed by the Secretary of State in Council to inform you
that, apart from the fact that the benefits admissible to officers and their
families under Army Instruction (India) No. 5-S. of 1925 are assessed in terms
of return passages, he considers it desirable in the interests of the officers
themselves that, as far as possible, the booking of single passages should be
discouraged. He is therefore of opinion that in normal circumstances, i.e.y
when the return journey is expected to be performed within the period of
validity of a return ticket, the maximum admissible for expenditure by con
cession passengers on a journey from India to the United Kingdom and back
should be restricted to £147, whether the passage is performed on a return
ticket or by means of two single bookings. Special cases in which the purchase
of a return ticket was clearly impracticable would be considered on their
merits, and a certificate authorising expenditure up to £84 on the outward
journey would be issued where the facts were held to justify this course.
Under this interpretation of the rules, the position of officers and their
families proceeding from or to India by sea as concession passengers would be
similar to that of concession passengers proceeding from or via Iraq {vide this
Department's letter dated the 4th January 1928, No. M. N.-24424/33).
I am to add that no amendment of A. I. (I.) No. 5-S, of 1925 is considered
to be necessary.
