§ 4. Colonel YATEasked the Secretary of State for India whether he can now state what is the increased scale of pay that has been granted to the Indian Imperial Police Service?
§ Mr. FISHERThe information asked for is, for greater convenience, being published in the Official Report. The new scale takes effect from the 1st January last.
§ The following is the information referred to: [NOTE.—The salaries are paid in rupees, but for convenience their sterling equivalents are also stated, at the pre-war standard rate of exchange of 1s. 4d. the rupee. Exchange has fluctuated during the War and the rupee for the present stands at about 1s. 6d.]
§ A time scale has been introduced as below, with effect from 1st January, 1919. In this a distinction is made between a "junior scale" and a "senior scale." All officers enter on the "junior scale," but when they attain certain posts of higher responsibility they receive an extra allowance of Rs. 150 a month (£120 a year), and are classed as coming under the "senior scale." The "junior scale" and the "senior scale" in this way overlap.
