s * It was recommended in my telegrain yo. 916 dated

income-tax and I presume this is intended. Please confirm.
Tandy was previously drawing war allowance at
Rs. 263 and local compensatory allowance Re. 150 - a total
of Rs. 413 as against his present deputation allowance Rs.375 -
so that he is worse off by Rs. 38/- as he states in his
letter. Since the 16th August 1947 however the war allowance
has been substituted by a dearness allowance which in Tandy 1 s
case amounts to Rs. 150/- vide Government of India Finance

No. 10529 dated 14th August 1947. Were Tandy now serving
under the Pakistan Government he would be drawing the dearness
allowance of Bs. 150/- p.m. (oh the assumption that the Govern
ment of India*s revised rates of dearness allowance have
been applied to Government servants in Pakistan) and I consider
it only fair therefore that this should be added to the
emoluments listed in the telegram under reference. I do not
recommend the grant of Local compensatory allowance as this
should be regarded as being covered by the deputation
allowance.
