- Administrative Context:
- This was an unusual form of non-effective benefit for which only military officers who were commissioned before 1881 were eligible. Subject to certain conditions, an officer of the ranks of Lieutenant Colonel and above, for whom no further active employment was available, could elect to receive the half pay of a Lieutenant Colonel, and to be placed also on a rota, one for each of the three Presidencies, of those entitled to succeed to 'Colonel's Allowance' when a vacancy occurred through the death of an existing participant. These officers were never technically placed on the retired list and remained unemployed until death. The 'Colonel's Allowance', originally called 'Off Reckonings', was the successor of one of the many perquisites attached to the commanding officer of military establishments of all European armies. When the East India Company's armies were first raised, the practice of the British Army under which the commanding officer contracted for supplies to his regiment, although by that time considerably reduced, was continued. When the Government in India took the supply of clothing of troops into its own hands, the profits on the contracts of each year were assessed, and divided equally among the dispossessed colonels. The Army Clothing Agent also participated in the 'Off Reckonings'. From 1854 it was found more convenient to covert the variable annual sum into a fixed allowance. At the same time, the title was changed to 'Colonel's Allowance'.
