Question of improving banking facilities
in the Hejaz for Indian pilgrims.
Sir,.
with reference to paragraphs 23 and 24 of
meiamorandum A$ a copy of which was received with your
memorandum no. 1889/1956/1, dated the 18th July, 1931,
regarding paragraph 14 of the Haj Inquiry Committee^
Confidential Report, I am directed to say that the Govt, of
India have considered the proposals made by you for the
improvement of banking facilities in the Hejaz for Indian
pilgrims, but consider that there is no action which they
can suitably take in the matter 4keMee&ves v -whe9efts^4^
ie-»e-i4l£eiik««4 at present, if Indian banks would profit
from opening up business in the Hejaz, they may be expected
to move in the matter themselves, whereas if there is no
likelihood of their doing so, the Government of India by
suggesting to a particular bank or banks that they should
undertake such business would be courting an application
from them for remuneration or compensation of some sort
in the event of losses being incurred. It is obvious that
it would be impossible to entertain any application of
this character.
2. With reference to the other matters mentioned in the
memorandum, attentiozn is invited to the remarks made in the
paragraphs entitled 1 •Banking facilities 11 and Currecy in
the Hejaz 1 * at page 5 of the 1 'Guide for Pilgrims to the
Hejaz 11 , a copy of which was forwarded to you with this
Department letter Ho.69 H(a), dated the 14th January 1932.
