§ 95. Colonel YATEasked the Secretary of State for India for what reason lieutenant-colonels of the Indian Army on the unemployed list residing in India are not permitted to draw the pay of their rank at the rate of 1,150 rupees per mensum in accordance with A.R.I., vol. I., paragraph 163, which lays down that during residence in India officers remaining in the service unemployed shall receive the Indian Army pay of their rank; and whether, considering that various officers have been compelled to refund money paid to them on this account, he will issue orders that such deductions are to be repaid?
