Rule 73 — GAR

73. The cost of Survey of India and other scientific parties which may accompany a military expedition should be adjusted as follows:-

(i) All extra expenditure connected with Survey of India unit which would not have been incurred but for field operation should be borne by the Defence Estimates, provided the Survey of India unit accompanies the expedition at the request of the Defence Department.

(ii) The cost of the pay, allowances and contingencies of other scientific parties should be borne by the respective Civil Departments concerned, while the expenditure incurred on special transport arrangements made by the Defence Services should be debited to the Defence Estimates. These directions do not, however, apply to the classification of the cost of units of the Survey of India or of other scientific parties mobilized for service with the Army on general mobilization. The whole cost of these units except (in the case of the Survey of India) that of the initial supply of all technical equipments, material and stores, should be debited to the Defence Estimates under special rules.
