‘File 13/14 I General repatriation deposits – re’
- Scope & Content:
-
The file contains numerous letters to the Political Agent, Bahrain from local employers, requesting the refund of Repatriation Guarantee Money Deposits they had paid in respect of their Indian workers. These monies were refundable, once the Indian staff hired to work in homes and businesses in Bahrain, had returned to India on termination of their employment. A few of the letters are in Arabic.
The file also contains numerous Repatriation Deposit Receipts and No Objection Certificates issued by the Political Agency, Bahrain, in favour of allowing hired India workers to travel to Bahrain and take up the offers of employment they had received while they were still resident in India.
