N0.67-S
Dated, BAHRAIN, the 8th January, 1948.
I forward herewith a note giving the
terms that I propose should be offered to the Indian ministerial
staff whom.it will be necessary to engage for this
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.
and
its subordinate offices, together with statements showing
(a) existing rates of pay enjoyed by clerks in this
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.
and
in the offices of the Bahrain Petroleum Company and Messrs. Gray,
Mackenzie & Co., Ltd. at Bahrain, (b) existing rates of dearness
allowance and (c) existing rates of house rent allowance.
It is proposed to offer these terms only
to temporary clerks who are already serving and new entrants.
2* _ The rate of pay proposed is more generous
' than that at present in force but it has to be remembered that the !
service will be non-pensionable and liable to termination at short i
notice and that at any rate for the present there will be no
provident fund benefits.
f• The general terms of service proposed are
not exhaustive but it has been impossible for me in the time at my j
disposal to work out a complete code on the lines of the Government
oi India’s Fundamental Rules. i-idditions and amendments will have
to be made as occasion arises.
2* With regard to the permanent staff the
government of India have agreed that these should remain on
0\ % deputation until the 15th August 1948 vide

Printed Letter
^ ' no«51ftuBo/4 l .o dated the 7th January, 1948 thoijph they now appear
inclined to go oack on this c.i. the copy of correspondence enclos
ed.
I am proposing to ascertain as soon as
possible how many of the permanent staff are willing to retire from
tne Government of India or Pakistan service and accept a contract
under His Majesty's Government. It may be necessary to ask the
Governments of India and Pakistan to allow a few of the oermanent
staff.to remain on deputation after the 15th August 1948 if they
are willing to do so in order to avoid having to fill the more
important posts with young and inexperienced hands.
7 • I should be grateful for very early orders
on the terms I have proposed as members of the temporary staff are
likely to leave and seek service in India unless they can be
assured of reasonable continuity oi service on satisfactory terms
here. Many of them have already applied for employment und°r the
Governments of India or Pakistan.
