Original Rule Text
3.10.15 The two Missions at London and Washington make payments to officials and non-officials deputed abroad individually or as members of Government delegated by various ministries and departments of the Central Government. Where the sanctioned period of such deputations exceeds three months, the officer can draw his entitlements of pay and allowances in foreign exchange from the Mission on the authority of his Last Pay Certificate and the sanction containing the terms and conditions of his/her deputation.
What This Means
When officials are deputed abroad for more than three months, the London and Washington missions can pay their foreign exchange entitlements (pay and allowances) based on the Last Pay Certificate and the deputation sanction. This covers individual officials or members of government delegations sent by various central ministries and departments.
