This i s a *aac d i f f i c u l t , thoiif^n not very im- |j*

p o rta n t, ca se . I t seens to ne a /^ o d i l lu s t r a t io n o f the

extraordinary an on alies T/hich a r i s e , when orders o f an

apparently sim ple nature are passed w ithout, i f I may say ^s

so , properly thinkinp^ out th e ir r e s u lt s , and are subse­

quently tinkered V7ith from time to time in an endeavour to :

se t rigiit an e a r lie r s l i p . At l e a s t , th is i s ho\7 the case

s tr ik e s me. I am not certa in what the ru les were before

tu^se issued on 6th June 1921, because a copy o f them have

not been furnished to u s ; but the orders o f that date lo o k ^

■

fa ir ly sim ple, They merely sa id that a promoted o f f i c e r fV>•

comes on to the in fe r io r sca le a t the starve next above h is•c

pay in the p ro v in c ia l se rv ic e , and v/hen he holds a superic

post he r is e s to the corresponding sta.f^e o f the superior

s c a le . Tliis seemed n atural and simple enouf^, bu t the f

Crovemment o f India in passing* those orders ob viou sly

com pletely overlooked the p o s s i b i l i t y o f a man drav/in^

more pay in the p ro v in cia l se rv ic e than he could drav/- on ■

the in fe r io r sc a le o f the im perial se rv ice , in which case

the ru les v/ere unworkable. Consequently, they had to be

: i )

amended, and th is was done by ruling' that in such a case A

man promoted to a superior p o st was to add ^ s . l 7 5 / - to Jh|

i s pay in the p rov in cia l se rv ic e in order to reckon ^ihat

he should draw in the im perial s e r v ic e . There i s n

cle a r enou,f^h. But then a h rigiit thou,c^it struck the Oovern-

in the p ro v in c ia l serv ice might v ;ith the ad d itio n o f th is

H s .l 7 5 / - a c tu a lly draw more (even con sid erably more) than

i f he had spent a l l h is service in the Im perial P o lic e , a

re s u lt which seened to them, I th ink qu ite ri.Pihtlj?-, entirely*

wron/^* 35 they put a lim it by in sertin i^ a p roviso th at no­

body should draw more on promotion than an o f f ic e r o f ttie

sane number o f years^ service in the Im perial P o lic e was

e n tit le d to .T h is a lso looked simple e n o u ^ , but here again ,

in p assin g the orders, the Government o f India e n t ir e ly

forgot to d efin e what they meant by ’^service^' (th ey probabl;

never thou,giit o f the p oin t, though i t i s a s u f f ic ie n t ly

obvious one) T/ith bi*« not unnatural r e s u lt that some lo c a l I'i

Crovernments in terp reted i t in one way and some in an oth er, 3

and the pay o f promoted o f f ic e r s "was conseq^uently involved ;

in confusion , t o put m atters r ig h t (and, in fa c t , p u ttin g ■'

they only meant .gazetted s e r v ic e , a railing v/hich has not

3* I do not ^ant to in to too elaborate d e t a i l in

discussing- the anomalies a r is in g out o f the present ord ers,

hut I would r e fe r b r ie f ly to the main poin ts on which the

Home Department themselves lay some emphasis.\

(a ) They p oin t out that the proviso to the ru le s has I

the e f fe c t that many o f f ic e r s do not ,^et the in crease o f

R s .1 7 5 /- on promotion which was intended. I do not m yself

regard th is as a matter o f great im portance. That they

should ^et some r is e is d e s ir a b le , but I hold that there i s .

no virtue in the partii^alar f i ^ r e o f H s . l 7 5 / - . The e x i s t - ]

in ^ anomaly i s mainly due to ti fo causes*,X

f (1 ) too rapid promotion in the p ro v in cia l s e r v ic e ; j

I (2 ) the orders o f Government ru lin g out o f the c a l - jj

cu la tion non-gazetted serv ice .

I

(2) I rep^rd as fo r reason s which I s h a l l p r e s e n t ly

explain, and (1 ) i s , i f anythin^:, a reason a .j^ in st the idea

that a aan on promotion must n e c e s s a r i ly g-et a la r ^ e increase

of pay. I s h a ll m yself p r e s e n tly propose a r u le vrhich w ill|

rid o f th is R s . l 7 5 / - f i f ^ r e , w hich I d i s l i k e , and whicho

w ill c.t the sane time ^ive in my op in io n as much advantage

on promotion as i s required .

(h) Some junior o f f ic e r s ,^et more pay than se n io r s

previously promoted. This looks anomalous, hut I do not

myself re.i^rd i t as at a l l a serio u s m atter. The r e s u lt

seems to me unavoidahle, as lon,^ as paTJ" on promotion i s de-

pendent on pay in the P rovin cial P o lic e , and in fa c t i s , I

b e lie v e , unavoidable in any reasonable scheme which can be

suggested; as I say , i t does not r e a l ly much m atter, as

lon^ as s e n io r ity i s based on date o f promotion and not on ^£

pay. I t can, hovever, be m itigated to a certa in e x te n t . In|

one way the ex isten ce o f the s e le c t io n ^ a d e in the p ro v in ­

c ia l p o lic e op erates to increase the anomaly and to ,^ive a 'ii

double advantar^e to the man subsequently promoted. In th is \]

s o , because I r e a lis e th a t the in c lu s io n o f n o n -g azetted

s e r v ic e may in crease the anomaly by which one man promoted

a f t e r another may draw higher pay than the l a t t e r , and a ls o

No. 311C-22, d a te d Kangoon, t l ie 2<lth February 1922.

From— :Mb. F. L ewisohn-, Chief Secretary to the Government of Burm " Police Department,

To Tlie Secretaiy to tlie Government of India, Home Department, Delhi.

fecBJECT. F a y o f o fficers o f the F ro v in c ia l P o lic e S erv ice p ro m o ted to theIn d ia n {Im p er ia l) S ervice.

I am directed to submit copies of letters no. 10583-2E.-6 and no. 126-46-22-6, dated the 13 h October 1921 and the 21sfc Decpmber'l921 from the luspector-General of Folice, Burmi, tog(!ther with a copj- of the Accoimtant-General’s endorsement on the former letter which brin'^lto notice S(*r:ons anomalies in the pay of officers of the Burma Police Service^ promoted to the Indian (Imperial) Police Service resulting from the orders contained in Mr. Gwynne’s letter no. 1318, dated the 6th June 1921.

2. In the first place tlie orders cannot be applied at all in the case of an ofecer whose pay as a Deputy Superintendent happens to be Rs. 67 > or over, because tbero is bo stage in th e inferior time-scale of the Imperial Service over

^ month. The fact of the matter is that the new formula assumes that oflicers of the Provincial Service will be promoted to the Imperial Service at an early sta?e in their career, whereas as pointed out in Mr. MacLeod’s letter no. F .-.43 (Police), dated 6th *4ugust 1921, promotion from the Pro­vincial Service should normally be to the rank of Superintendent. The toJlowmg solution of this difficulty presents itself as equitable. If an officer m the Provincial Service is drawing Bs. 610 and is promoted to the Imperial Service, and io a superior post in that service, he goes o i to the Rs. 775 stao" i of the latrer Kervice ; if heisdrawirg Bs. 650, he goes on to the Rs. 825 Jage. Iherefore it should be laid down that an officer drawing over Rs. (.50 in the Provincial Service should go on to the superior time-scale of the Imperial Service at the stage which is Rs. 175 more than he was drawing in the Pro- vii;cial Service or if there is no su<5h stage then at the stage next above the total of his pay in the Provincial Serv.'ce ph(s Bs. 175. This is slightly less generous than the similar proposal contained in paragraph 4 of my letter no. 545-19P.-10, dated the 20th September 1921. It is also not unduly generous compared wdth the position of an oflScer of a Provincial Civil Service holdingan Indinn Civil Service post, who draws not less than Rs. 300 more tiiau his substantive pay in the Provincial Service (v ide Government of India, Home Department, Resolution no. 1053, dated the 5th May 1921). It should however be subiect to a similar proviso, i.e., tliat in no case should a Provincial Service officer draw higher pay than that to which an offi<jer of the Imperial Service of the same number of years’ service would be entitled under the superior time-scale.

3. The next anomaly arises out of the fact that officers appointed to the Imperial Service since the pay of the Provincial Service started to be revised will now draw more pay than officers senior to them who were appointed before tliat revision. This anomaly is best illustrated by the cases of Messrs. Burke liill, Vardon and Lee, of whom the tirst three hold or have held listed appoint­ments, and the fourth is the senior officer officiating as a District Superautend- ent of Police.

Mr. Burke was appointed to officiate as a District Superintendent of Police in July 1915 and was confirmed in August 1916. On the 3lst December 1919 he was drawing Ks. 800, Rs. 700 as District Superintendent of Police 4th?rade, Bs. 10 0 allowance as officiating District Superintendent of Po’icr-----

g ^ e . With effect from 1st January 1920 he was brought on to tho superior time-scale at Rs. S50 under the orders containe'1 in Government of India, Home Department, telegram no. 490 (Police), datal tl eJ'L6th March 1920. and on the 1st January 1921 he drew Rs. 900. When he w'as first ap­pointed to officiate his pay was Bs. oOO. Tiierefore under the orders in

I have the honour to refer you to letter no. 1318, dat ed the 6thof June 1921, from the Deputy Secretary to the Government of India, copyof which w a s forwarded to me ander cover of your Police Department endorse­ment no. 31-19 P .-l, dated the 1st of July 1921. This letter introduces a new formula for calculating the pny of officers of the Provincial Pohce Service when promoted to the Indian (Imperial) Police Service. The ostensi()le object of this letter is to devise a more simple formula than that set forth in telegram- no. 490, dated tbe 16th March 1920, from the Secretary to the Government of India a copy of which was forwarded to me under oo'-er of your Police Department endorsement no. [819-7P.-5, dated the 20th of March 1920. Ihe actual effect of these new orders is that all Deputy Supormcendents who are now officiating as District Superintendents of Police suffer a considerable financial loss. I attach a statement showing the pay drawn by these officers reo-ulated under the conditions of the Government of India telegram no. 490 aiS. the pay to which they will be entitled under the new rules. I therefore recommend that a reference be made to the Government of India soliciting sanction to permit all officers who were appointed to officiate as District Superintendents of Police prior to the 7th of April 1921 (the date fi'Oin which the new orders are to be brought into force) to continue to draw p.iy under the orders contained in telegram no. 490. The pay of olticers promoted to officiate as Distri.jt Suporiutendents of_ Police after the 7th April 1921 will be reo'ulated under the orders contained in letter no. 1318, dated the 6th of June'l921, from the Government of India. Even if this concession is granted Mr. J. A. Vardon who has been appointed to bo a permmiei t District Superin­tendent of Police with effect from the 2oth June U2 ’ m de, Police D jpartment Notification no, 190, dated the 13th July 1921, will obtain no tinrmcial benefit as he is at present drawing Bs. e50. If it is not granted he will lose Bs. 100 per mensem. Similarly Messrs. Lee and Roussac who are at ^present m the Selection grade of Deputy Superintendents of Police on Rs. 750 are drawing Es. 850 as ofiiciating District Superintendents of Police. Under the orders contained in your Police Department letter no. 27-14M.-3, dated the 6th September 1921 the pay of the Selection grade in the rank of Deputy Superin­tendent of Police has been raised to Rs. 850. Messrs. Lee and Pv;0ussac will therefore obtain no pecuniary benefit by officiating as District Superintendents of Police while their responsibilities are doubled.

2 I have the honour to point out further that it will not be possible to apply the orders contained in letter no. 1318, dated the 6th of June 1921 from the G o v e r n m e n t of India in the future in the case of a Deputy Superin« tendent of Police who is drawing a substantive salary as a Deputy Superintend­ent of Police above Rs. 675 which is the maximum pay on the inferior scale of the Indian (Imperial) Police Service as laid down in Government of India, Home X)epartment Resolution no. D.-449, dated the 26th July 1921, copy of

£ which was forwarded to me under cover of your Police Department endorse- ' mont no 676-19P-T, dated the 16th August 3921. Eor example, if an officer in the Selection grade on Rs. 850 is appointed to officiate as District Superin-

}\ tendent of Police it will not be possible for him to come on to the inferior : time-scale of the Imperial Service at the stage next above his salary in the

Provincial Service.I have the honour to suggest that a reference be made to the Goyernmettfc

of India with a view to obtaining further orders.

Provincia l Police iService. I c a n h ard ly th in k that the limitajLion h a « in tended to apply to the case of an of?icer p rom oted D ep u ty Supdt. and then X). y . , F. fro m th e non-pa^etted ranks. As has happened in m y case, m \ tenure as D eputy Superintendent of P o lic e has not b e e n very loner before appointm ent a s officiating: D . S., P . I was also prom oted to D . S .. P. from the selec­tion gi-ade uf th e D y . Supdt. Both these factors h ’tive now com bin ed t o p lace me at a consider­able financial d isadvantage w hich I .cannot even hope to recover by con tin u in g in service. I have already rendered 28^ years ser\'ice and I am 49 yeiirs old., so 'that although by the tim e 1 retire, I will h a v e b e e n D istr ict S updt. of P o lice both oft’g. and perm anent fo r over 11 years.^ I will ga in rem uneration to th e exteat- of R s. 225 p m at the end o f that period, w hile at thait time I m il b e d ra w ia - the sam e su m w hich as a resu lt of special orders wa-s granted t o me with ef¥ect from the 1st O ctober 1923.

6. T o the best o f mv ability I served the (rovea-nment fo r o v e r 28 years and the fact that th e efficiency ba r was r e m o l d m m y ca -e at R s. 950 sitage, the. title o f Rao Sahib in June 1918 and o f E a o B ahadu r in June 1924 were best-owed on m e, gave m e consolation that wh&tf^ver hum ble serv ices I w as fortunate enough to render t o G overnm ent were duly appreciated b v them and th a t I w ou ld be le.ft in peace w ithout any financial worr es to serve the G overn m en t till I retire and im prove the pTOspects m , big family. Mr. Badri I W Shukul, offg. D istrict S u pdt. of P o lice , Dru^, who g o t my selection grade of R s. 800 on m y confirm ation as D.

I h a v e the honour t o s ta te that the Govern­ment o t India have re ce n tly m terpreted the terms “ S erv ice '' in the phrase tte sam e

iuu :uberol' years’ scrv ico ” o c c m r ’ng in the proviso to Piule (2 ) of the R ule m a d e by the Secretary o f State under Section 9 6 B (2 ) of the G overn ­m e n t of India A at, for I’egu la tin g the pay o f ortieers prom oted to the In d ia n (Im peria.l) PoUce S erv ice posts, as m eaning on ly gazetted service,i .e . , scrvice in th e P rovincia l P olice Service. W h ile regulating you r pay , th is office had taken all your service (including th e non-gazetted serv ice from 1st June 1896) in to account for the purpose of the prov iso in that rule. As, how ever, accord ing to th e present interpretation o f the G overnm ent o f In d ia , yo iir service in the Provincial P olice Service from 18th N ovem ber 1010 has a lone to be tak en inito account fo r the purpose o f thg proviso., y o u r p a y becom es re­stricted to R s. 800 on ly the ra te of pay that an officer o f 'the Im peria l Servdce of the sam e n u m ber o f years’ service' 'vdll b e entitled to under the superior tm ie-sca le p e r m onth from 18th July 1924, the d a te on w h ich the inter­p ret ;;tion o f the G overn m en t of India takes e ffect. A s you have a lready dray'Ti pay at R s. 1,050 per m on th a su m o f R s. 362-14-0 (th ree • hundred and s ix ty -tw o . and annas fou rteen ) being th e am ou n t overdraw n b y you at R s . 250 per m onth fr o m 18th July 1924 to 31st A ugust 1924 is du e from y ou and m ay p lea se be recovered from you r fu tu re salary bills at a rate n ot less than on e -th ird o f pay. Y ou are eaU tled to draw fr o m the 1st S eptem ber 1924, pay at R s . 800 on ly p er m onth . The n e x t increm ent in pay ra ising it to R s. 825 per m o n th will fall due on 18th N ovem ber 1924 and w ill be authorised in du e course.

a hardship, Iho Commission would propose that it should be open to such officers to have their pay ro-calculated under tlie new rules as trom tlie date when the come into operation, i.e., without retrospective effect. If, how’ever, officers adopt the new rules they sliould be required to adopt them in their entirety ; e.^., they must not claim to benefit both by case (a) under the old rules and also by the inclusion ol* half their non-g-azetted service under the new.

16. ’lie Commission believe that if orders are passed to the above effect, the difficulties that have been felt with regard to past cases {vide the Jetter from the (Government of the Central Provinces, dated the 12th January 1925, the letter from the Government of Bombav, dated the 9th April 1925, and the letter from the Goveriiment of Madras, dated the 30th October 1924, on which the Govern­ment of India have specifically invited the Ooimnission’s recommendations) will be removed. There mav, however, and the Commission believe will, still remain a small number of invli^ddual cases t>f hardship which will not be remedied by the suggested orders. As far as the Commission have been able to gather from the papers forwarded with your letter and from an examination of the Civil Lists, there are two cases in the United Provinces and two in Madras, and there may be one or two others, in which officers have bee-n adversely affected by the fact that they were promoted substantively to the Imperial Service only a short time before the selection grade in the Provincial Service, to which they would otherwise have been appointed, was created. The result has been that officters ■junior to them, who were promoted subsequently, have drawn _considerably higher pay. Stated baldly, these are cases in which a senior officer is permanent- Iv’ in receipt of less pay than his ju.nior. not because the senior officer is under­paid but because the junior officer is overpaid. The ( ’.ommission are, however, sensible of the fact that this anomaly to which the old rules gave rise, may be productive of lasting discontent which may be injurious to the public service, and the lV)mmission accordingly propose that in such individual instances the htcal Government should be empowered with the previous approval ot the Gov­ernment of India to take such action as they think fit to mitigate the grievance, either by the grant of additional increments, if necessary retrospectively, or by personal allowances, but always subject to the proviso that the pay ot the officers concerned shall not thereby be raised above the pay to Nvhich they would be, or would have been, entitled, had their total service (under the new uiterpretation [ of the term “ service ” ) been spent in the Imperial Police.

T h e R i g h t H o n o u r a b l e t h e EARL o f BIRKENHEAD,His Majesty’s Secretarij of State for India'.

Simla, the 8th September 1927.

Subject.— Rules to regulate the pay of officers promoted from the Provincial Police Services to the Indian Police Service:, or to officiateHn posts borne on the cadre of thxU Service.

M y L o r d ,

W e have the honour to refer to Lord Peel’s despatch no. lOl^-’ublio dated the 8th November 1923,' forwarding a resokttion adopted in Council makma rules, under section 96B (2 ) of the? Government of India Act, to regulate the pay of officers promoted from the Provincial Police Services to the Indian Police Service or to officiate in posts torne on the cadre of that Service, and to forward, for Your Lordship s consideration and approval, the accompanying draft rules which we EiK;io3ure No. i«. have drawn up in consultation with the Public Service Commission to replace the existing rules. A copy of the correspondence set out in the annexed list is enclosed for Your Lordship’s information.

2 . Under rule 2 of the present rules, the pay of a Provincial Police Serviceofficer promoted to a superior post borne on the cadre of the Indian Police Ser\ice, is fixed at the stage which is Rs. 175 in excess of his pay in the Provincial Service," s'tbject to the pro\aso that no officer so promoted should receive more pay than that to which an officer of the Indian Police Service of the same number of years’ service would be entitled under the superior time-scale. The question of the interpretation of the expression “ the same num.ber of years’ service ” occurfino- ia the proviso, was raised by the Government of the United Provinces in 192 ,and it was then decided by the Government of India that the term “ service ’’ ”should be interpreted as including only gazetted service, and orders to that effect Enclosure No 2 were issued to all local Governments. Subsequently, the Government of Madras rppnrted that the application of this interpretation gave rise to a number of Enclosure No :{ auomahes in that province and suggested its reconsideration. Before examining the question of altering the interpretation placed on the rule, or of amendino- ifc’Lord Reading s Government thought it advisable to consult other local Govern­ments as to whether they had come across similar anomalies, and asked them to Enclosure No i report generally on the workmg of the rules m question so far as their provinces were concerned. ^

3. In the course of the examination of the local Governments’ replies, it was bund that, the existing rules gave rise to various anomalies and practical difficul- Endo.uro. ' ' - ties, and we were led to doubt whether the principles laid down in Lord Peel’s 5 to 13. ' ’ - llespatch referred to above, regulating the initial pay of officers promoted from M 402 H. D.*

iC.

the Provincial Police Service, were not in some respects unsatisfactory. We there- Enciosure No. 14. fore asked the Public Service Commission to consider whether the rules required

revision, and, if so, what modifications they would suggest. The statement of the case forwarded to the Commission, a copy of which forms an enclosure to this Despatch, explains in detail the points at issue.

Bneioaurs No. 15. 4. The Co^nmission have examined the subject with reference to the diffi­culties pointed out, and have recommended that the main basis of the present system, viz., the fixation of the pay of a promoted officer with reference to his pay in the Provincial Service, should be maintained, and also that there should be no departure from the principle laid down in the proviso to the existing rule 2 . On the basis of these two principles, the Commission have framed a set of rules which, in their opinion, will solve the difficulties that the local Governments are experi­encing at present. We agree with the view expressed by the Commission in para­graph 8 of their letter of the 16th May 1927 that the anomalies pointed out have arisen mainly from the existence of the selection grade in the Provincial Services, and that a proper solution of the problem can be found only if the pay granted to officers in this grade is left out of account when fixing the pay of a promoted officer,

I As observed by the Commission, promotion to the selection grade and promotion' to the Indian Police Service may be regarded as alternative methods of advance­

ment, and we see no reason why a Provincial Service officer in the selection grade should have a double advantage on promotion. At the same time, it would clearly be inequitable if no allowance were made for length of service in the selection grade. Accordingly, the Commission propose that the pay of officers in the selection grade should, on promotion, be based on an assumed pay, namely, the pay which they would have drawn in the provincial time-scale had they not been promoted to the selection grade. We consider that the remedy proposed by the Commission is a reasonable one, and that no officer can have any legitimate grievance if his pay on promotion is fixed on the basis of his pay in the Provincial Service assumed on these Knes. The second proviso to rule 2 of the Commission’s draft protects such officers from any loss in emoluments that might result on applying the above principles.

5 . The Commission deal in paragraph 11 of their letter with the question of the interpretation which should be placed on the term “ service ” in appljrine the accepted principle that an officer on promotion should not receive more pay than an officer of the Indian Police Service of the same nvimber of years’ service. We agree with their recommendations on this point. It is clear from the letters of local Governments that, on the one hand, the absolute exclusion of non-gazetted service from the calculation would in some cases mean a real hardship to pro­moted officers, some of whom spend a comparatively short period in the Provincial Police Service between non-gazetted service and promotion to the Indian Pohce Service, while, on the other hand, inclusion of all non-gazetted service would give an undue advantage. We think that the Commission’s proposal, which would give credit for half the period of non-gazetted service, affords a reasonable basis of calculation. The proposal is embodied in the first proviso to draft rule 2 .

6 . The 3rd proviso to rule 2 of the Commission’s draft is intended to secure that an officer on promotion should ordinarily receive Rs. 175 more than his pay in the Provincial Service immediately before promotion. We accept the views of the Commission that the principle laid down in the substantive part of the exist­ing rule 2 should be maintained, so long as it does not give a higher rate of pay for service in a Provincial Police Service than for service in the Indian Police Service, and we consider that the Commission’s draft will secure the object in view.

7 . In paragraph 16 of their letter, the Commission recognise that the rules framed may not meet the cases of a small number of individual officers, and suggest

: that such instances should be dealt with on their merits, the local Governmen4' being empowered, with the previous approval of the Government of India, to grant,

in individual cases, such relief as they may consider necessary. It does not appear to us possible, under the terms of section 96 B (5) of the Government of India Act, for the Secretary of State in Council to delegate the power to any subordinate authority to relax the provisions of rules made by himself. It would seem there­fore that any exceptional cases of the kind contemplated by the Public Service Commission will have to be referred to Your Lordship.

3. In the case of officers coming under Class (Z>) of para. 15 of the Public Servicc Commission’s letter, I authorise Your Excellency’s Government to give arrears of pay equal to such reduction as may have Ijeen made as a result of your letter of the 18th July 192-i.

4. I agree with Your Excellency’s Government that cases in which the rules now made are considered to operate inequitably must be referred for my orders.
