Sir

I have the honor to inform you that the Board has decided that in future when Non-Clerical Officers are transferred at their own request to other branches of the Non-Clerical Division, they will be so transferred only at the minimum salary of the new position.

It is requested that applicants may be so informed and their acquiescence in this arrangement notified in their applications when forwarding them to the Board.

The Under Secretary
