cept to meet expenditure actually incurred on the feeding, shoeing and maintenance of the
animal and the Chanda subscription for the period of the man’s absence. The Chanda subscription
shall be credited to the Police Remount Fund. Such horses and camels shall be
looked after and may be used for instruction or duty by recruits or other men of the
mounted police, as ordered by the gazetted officer in supervisory charge. In such cases
responsibility under rule 7.12(b) for loss or injury by misconduct or neglect shall rest with
the man so ordered to look after and use the animal, provided that no policemen shall be
so held responsible for more than one animal at a time.
Note :- The Superintendent of Police concerned should attach to the establishment bill in which
conveyance is drawn a certificate in the following form :-
Certified that the amount drawn on account of conveyance allowance of mounted policemen
sick or on leave not exceed the actual expenses incurred by the Lines
Officer/Officer in charge of the mounted police on the feeding, shoeing and other maintenance
charges of the animal and the Chanda subscriptions for the period of the man’s
absence and that the amount has been paid to the Lines Officer/officer in charge of the
mounted police and not to the absentee.
(2) Mounted police officers placed under suspension, or who temporarily cease to be
members of the chanda fund owing to their transfer to a post where they are not required
to maintain a charger and their substitutes in the post from which they are transferred are
not members of the fund, will cease to draw horse, pony or camel allowance, as the case
may be, and hand over their mounts to the Lines Officer or the officer in charge of the
mounted police, who shall be responsible for the feeding and keeping of such animals under
the supervision of a gazetted officer. The actual expenditure incurred on this account
shall be debited to contingencies under the head "Feeding and keeping of animals of
mounted police officers under suspension or otherwise temporarily ceasing to be members
of the Chanda Fund." Where there is a system of feeding animals by the purchase
of supplies in bulk, the accounts shall be kept as for other animals in a register in form
7.24(3) by the officer in charge of the mounted police who shall communicate the amount
of expenditure so incurred to the accountant who shall draw it on a contingent bill form
and pay it to the officer in charge of the mounted police. Elsewhere the account shall be
kept by the Lines Officer who shall incur expenditure from the permanent advance recouping
it in the manner detailed above. A suspended mounted police officer on
reinstatement - even if such officer is found not guilty of charges preferred against him
- will not be given conveyance allowance for the period of suspension. A mounted police
officer temporarily ceasing to be a member of the Chanda Fund will not be given the conveyance
allowance admissible when a mount is maintained but may draw any other
conveyance allowance to which he may otherwise be entitled under any rules for time being
in force as a non- mounted police officer.
Note :- The term ‘mounted police officers’ includes members of the mounted police as well as subordinates
who keep mounts.
