It appears probable that the men
frequently avail themselves of the privilege of remitting
half of their pay merely because they are unwilling to fore-

remittance rate, and that many who have no relatives to
whom they wish to remit, send the money to friends, by
whom it is suggested they are not infrequently victimised.
I have therefore the honour to recommend the following
modification of the privilege which was granted under the
circumstances explained in Sir William Robinson's Despatch
No. 241 of 20th. October, 1896.
I propose that instead of being
allowed to remit half of their pay as at present the
Indian Police shall in future be paid every six months
remittances under the existing system being made half-
-yearly
W
the difference between their half-pay for the
six months and their half-pay calculated for remittance
purposes at 44 cents to the rupee, in other words the sum
total of their gain under the remittance scheme during the
six months, and that they shall be allowed to remit this
sum only through the Treasury.
