108 THE GAZETTE OP INDIA EXTRAORDINARY, MARCH 25, 1937.Assistant Surgeons' Branch of tlie Indian Medical Department, possessing the requisite qualifications shall in course of time undertako the duties of eight Indian and nine European officors of the Indian Medical Service
As an experimental measure, six qualified Assistant burgeons have already been appointed to Indian Military Hospitals to carry out the duties of Indian Medical Service officers.
B.-Civil,
(1) In order
(a) to provide a Reserve of British officers to complete the numbers re- quired by the Army on mobilization,
(b) to supply a nucleus of trained Indian officers for the same purpose,
(c) to ensure the number of British officers required for attendance on the British members of the Superior Civil Services and their families, and
(d) to meet the requirements of the civil departments of the Central Gov- ernment and the Crown Representative (corresponding to the present Home, Education, Health & Lands and Foreign & Political Departments),
there will be a Civil Branch of the Indian Medical Service consisting of not less than 220 officers, of whom 166 will be British and not less than 54 Indian.
(2) Of these 220 officers, 97 British and 50 Indian will constitute the War Reserve, while the remainder [69 British and 4 (or more) Indian] will not be liable to recall to the Army on mobilization and will continue to be known as Residuaries.
(3) Of the 166 British officers, 122 will be employed by the Provinces under the powers provided by section 246 of the Government of India Act, 1935, and the remaining 44 will be employed under the Crown Representative and the civil departments of the Central Government.
Of the 122 employed by the Provinces, 77 will belong to the War Reserve and will be available in peace for attendance on the British members of the Superior Civil Services and their families. The remaining 45 Rcsiduarios will be avail- able at all times for attendance on the British members of the Superior Civil Ser- vices and their families.
Of the 44 employed under the Crown Representative and the civil depart ments of the Central Government, 20 will belong to the War Reserve and the remaining 24 will be Residuaries.
(4) Of the 54 Indian Officers, not less than 38 will be employed by the Pro- vinces under the powers provided by section 246 of the Government of India Act, 1935, and not less than 12 will be employed under the civil departments of the Central Government. The whole of these 50 officers will belong to the War Reserve. In addition there will be a number of Residuary posts open to Indian officers under the Crown Representative and the civil departments of the Central Government ; and it will be permissible for tho Provinces to employ as many additional Indian officers as they may wish, by agreement with the Central Government, provided only that they will guarantee them sufficient security of tenure to avoid the possibility of an embarrassing Burplus being returned to the Army for absorption.
(5) The appointments available for Indian Medical Service officers under tho Crown Representative and the appointments reserved for Indian Medical Service officers under the civil departments of the Central Government are shown in Appendix I.
The appointments reserved for Indian Medical Service officers in the Pro- vinces are shown in Appendix II.
NOTE.—In this Resolution and in Appendices I and II the term "British officers" means " officers recruited by the Secretary of State for India to fill European vficanoies in the Indian Medical Service,"
THE (JAZETTK Ol'1 INDIA UXTJiAOUJJlNAKY, MARCH 25, 1!)37. 109(6) The Central Government will pay to each Provincial Government at the beginning of each financial year a lump sum of Rs. 4,800 in respect of each British officer belonging to the War Reserve as shown in Appendix 11. This Hum is based on the average overseas pay at present drawn by British officers, and will be subject to revision as the new rates of pay and overseas pay take effect (sec Part II B—Appendix III).
(7) The adoption of the new list of reserved posts involves a net reduction in the number of posts on the civil side reserved for the Indian Medical Service from "207 to 172. The existing rights of officers who are already in civil employment and are otherwine suitable for appointment to these jwsts will, however, be fully preserved and prospects equivalent to those afforded at present will be retained for them. The detailed measures required to safeguard their prospects arc now being worked out.
(8) The Provinces, as at present, will be under no statutory obligation to employ members of the Indian Medical Department.
PAR1\IL—CONDITIONS OE SERVICE.
A.—Recruitment.
(1) While recruitment for the Indian Medical Service will continue, as atpre* sent, to be conducted by nomination on the recommendation of a Selection Board, the normal method of entry for Indian members of the Service will follow the sys- tem adopted in the Royal Army Medical Corps. New entrants will be given short service commissions for five years on the rates of pay prescribed for new entrants in Appendix III. Short servico officers will be asked to indicate whether on the conclusion of 5 years' service they desire to bo appointed to permanent com- missions. Appointment to permanent commissions will be made by selection from among those short service officers who wish to be considered. It is intended that about 70 per cent, of those appointed to short service commissions shall receive permanent commissions, but the percentage may vary from time to time. The remainder will be retired with a gratuity of Its. 4,500 and will be required, if considered suitablo, to join the Army in India Reserve of Officers for a period of 15 years.
(2) The present temporary commissions renewable from year to year up to five years will be abolished ; but present holders of temporary commissions will be eligible for selection for the grant of short service commissions, and ultimately of permanent commissions, on the terms described above, that is to say, after a total of five years' service in a non-permanent capacity. Those selected for short service commissions will be allowed to count for the purposes of gratuity— if not ultimately selected for permanent commissions—the service that they have already rendered as temporary commissioned officers.
(3) For a period of 2 years from 1st April 1937, in order to give sufficient notice of the change, the Socretary of State will reserve the right to appoint suitable Indian candidates permanently tot] IC Service without the preliminary of the short service commission.
B.—Pay, Promotion atd Pension.
(1) The time scale of promotion to Major in the Indian Medical Service will be accelerated by two years and a slight consequential adjustment will be made in the pay scale.
(2) The scales of basic and overseas pay for new entrants to the Service will
be revised so as to bring basic pay more into accord with Indian standards.
(3) The new rates of pay and the new time scales of promotion (a) for present incumbents and (6) for future entrants, are contained in Appendix III—which also contains, for purposes of comparison, tho present rates of pay and time scale of promotion.
110 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA EXTEAOEDINAEY, MARCH 25, 1037.(4) During the last few years there lias been a dewaan in. the number of appointments above the time scale—i.c, Colonels' appointments—on the military side of the Indian Medical Service, while there has been an increase in the number of such appointments in the Royal Army Medical Corps. Further, under the revised conditions of service (sec Section C below), officers permanently transferred to civil employment in future will forego any prospect of promotion above the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel and any claim to revert to military employ after a certain number of years' civil employment. To compensate for this a suitable number of enhanced pensions equal to Colonels' pensions will eventually be provided and awarded to officers tmder rales to be made hereafter [see Section 0 (11) below]. For the present, in order to redress the balance between the Koyal Army Medical Corps and the Indian Medical Service, six additional Colonelcies will be provided on the military side of the Indian Medical Service.
(5) Future entrants to the Indian Medical Service who are given short services commissions for 5 years on first appointment and are then selected for permanent commissions, will lose the right to retire on *a gratuity after G years' total service, that is to say, after one yoar's service with a permanent commission.
C.—Conditions of Service in tlie Civil Branch.
(1) While liability to serve either on the military or civil side has for many years been a recognized condition of service in the Indian Medical Service, it has been made clear since March 19 Sl that no new entrant to the Scrvico since that date can establish any claim to be transferred to civil employment. Subject to the maintenance of these genorai conditions, the terms on which officers of the Indian Medioal Service will be transferred to civil employment after 1st April 1937, will be revised to the extent set forth in the folio wing paragraphs.
NOTE.—" Civil employment " includes employment under a Provincial Government or Under tlio Ciown Representative or imcW a civil department of the Central Government: and " Civil employer " includes a Provincial Government, the Crown Representative or the Central Government.
(2) No officer holding a short service commission will be eligible for transfer to civil employment : and no officer will be considered for such employment until he has had a suitable period of army service.
(3) When an Indian Medical Service officer is required for civil employment, either for general purposes or to fill an appointment for which particular qualifications are required, the civil employer will apply to the Director-General, Indian Medical Service, stating his requirements and giving as much notice as possi- ble of the date by which the officer will be required. The Director-General, Indian Medical Service, in consultation with the Director of Medical Services at Army Head- quarters, will maintain a Hat of Indian Medical Service officers in military employ who can bo spared for civil employment. On receipt of an application the Direotor- Qeaeral, Indian Medical Service, will forward to the civil employer the names of about thiee officers in this list, stating which of them he considers the most suitable, and the choice will be left to the civil employer. On the selection for a civil post an officer will be formally appointed to the civil branch of the Indian Medical Service by the Secretary of State.
NOTJS.—The Director-General, Indian Medical Service, will endeavour to oome to a Working agreement -with all civil employers under which the latter -will intimate at periodical intervals their probable requirements for the next six months. Tho Director-General will then keep the Director of Medioal Services informed, so that the latter may know as early as possible what demands are likely to be made on him and so bo able to inform ttw Director-General, Indian Medical Service, of the extent to which he will be able to meet them.
(4) It will be open to civil employers—particularly the Provinces—to arrange by mutual agreement between themselves for the transfer of particular officers already in civil employ from one employer to another: but a report of such trans- fers will in all cases be sent to the Director-General, Indian Medical Service, by both
THIS GAZETTE OF INDIA EXTJtAOEDINAllY, MAEOJH. 25, 1997. I llemployers. If an officer objects to transfer a report will be made to the Governor-Genera' before transfer takes place and his decision will be final.
(5) An officer accopted for civil employment will be considered to be on pro- bation for 2 years, during which time he will be liable to be roturned to military employment at the discretion of his employer.
(6) After the expiry ?f the probationary period the officer, if continued in civil employment, will retain the right to claim to bo reverted to military omploy- mont until he has spont 7 years in all in civil employment or has had 17 years' total service, whichever may be later. The officer will not, however, unless he can show good cause, be permitted to revert without the consent of the civil employer.
(7) Similarly, during the period referred to in paragraph (6) the civil employer will retain the right to revert the officer to military employment, bat this right will not be exercised without the consent of the officer, unless the civil employer can show good cause.
(8) If any disputo arises in the operation of paragraphs (3)—(7) above, the matter will be referred to the Government of India and the final decision will rest with the Governor-General, but except to the extent thus indicated the Government of India will not intervene in tho working of the arrangements indicated.
(9) After the expiry of the period mentioned in paragraph (6) above, if the officer wishes to remain in civil employ and the civil employer agrees to retain him, he will be transferred to a special supernumerary list of the Indian Medical Service ; ho will no longer possess any right to claim reversion to military employ ; and ho will cease to be eligible for military promotion above the rank of Lieutenant- Colonel.
NOTE.-—The officor selected from time to time for the office of Director-General, Indian Medical Service, if on the special supernumerary list, will be retransferred to the active list and promoted to the rank of Major-t4encra,l.
(10) Officers on the special supernumerary list will remain liable to recall to army service on mobilization, unless they are required for Residuary posts. It will also be open to thorn although they no longer possess any right of reversion to the Army, to apply for such reversion in exceptional circumstancos. Such appli- cations will be forwarded to the Government of India through the civil employer and it will rest with the former in consultation with tho military authorities whether to accept them or not.
NOTE.— Officers in civil employment who are recalled to military service on mobilization will be retransferred, if nocesHary, to tho active list and be given appropriate military rank.
(11) A suitable number of special pensions equal to Colonels'- pensions will be provided (under rules to be made hereafter) for award to selected officers on the special supernumerary list in order to compensate for the loss of pensionary prospects that would otherwise be involved by ineligibility for promotion above the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel.
PART III.—GENEBAL.
(1) Nothing contained in this Resolution is to be understood as derogating in any way from the statutory rights conferred upon officers of the Indian Medical Service under the provisions of Part X of the Government of India Act, 1935.
(2) The arrangements now sanctioned will be subject to review in the future in the light of actual conditions but in any such review the rights of serving officers will be fully protected.
