Proposal for Revision of Scheme of Pay ior clerical
Establishment of Sistan Consulate for the amalgamation
of the cadre with that of the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. .
1 have the honour to refer to Foreign and Political
Department letter h o.297/86-Sst of 30th January 1922, in
wnich a revised Pay Scheme was brought into force xor Persian
Gulf and Persia, including the Sistan and meshed Consulates.
\ 7 iien it was understood that a further revision was contemplated
which has since been brought into force 1 or trie Persian Gull
Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. , it was believed that it woula be automatically
applied to otner consulates in Persia, as had previously
been the case, conditions everywhere being very similar,
it appears, however, that the new Scheme has not been extended
to include this consulate.
2. ms a result the Clerical Establishment 01 inis Consulate
is now employed under conditions which are less favourable
than those pertaining, for instance, in Kerman Consulate,
whereas circumstances are practically identical, moreover,
in view of tne fact tnat this Consulate has jurisdiction
over tnree Vice-Consulates, one hospital and two dispensaries,
it is probable that the clerical work is of a more arduous
nature than that of Kerman and some otner Consulates, ms
regards climatic conditions, tne oistan Consulate nas little
advantage over many places in the Gulf ana none at all over
Kerman, and Indian Clerks are similarly on Foreign service m
this area. From trie point of view of lack of amenities, East
Persia is certainly at a disadvantage^ compared with most
stations in the Gulf Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. which benefit to a great
extent
