I concur in suggestions regarding Eastern Bank. Branches of Civil ad
ministration, Commissioner of Revenue, and other Civil branches with incomes
would deposit receipts and draw on Bank for their expenditure. Field Control
ler, Military Accounts Department, would get an assignment placed to his
(credit) and draw on it as necessary. Regimental messes and institutions
would use Bank in ordinary way. Very large sums would pass through Bank’s
hands and there would be always large standing surplus. Use of those should
be sufficient inducements to Bank. Government of India will doubtless con
sider advisability of taking security from Bank.
