A number of minor changes have been made in the pay of particular appointments and particular classes of officers; but there has been no general change in the pay of officers since September, 1919, apart from the 5½ per cent. reduction, with effect from 1st July, 1924, on account of the fall in the cost of living. As regards allowances, ration and fuel and light allowances are reviewed quarterly and amended as required with reference to changes in the retail prices of the commodities. The rates of field allowance were amended by Army Order 208 of 1924. Other allowances have remained in general unchanged since September, 1919.
