bag cargo was increased to three annasper bag of three
Bahrain maunds, it was estimated that such increase would
result in one
lakh
One lakh is equal to one hundred thousand rupees
of collection. The practice deve
loped of transhipping bag cargo at sea thus evading these
charges; and in view of the situation it was decided to
refund to the re-exporter the difference between the
pre-existing rate and the new rate. This has been car
ried into effect with the result that the net result is
a gain to the State of Rs 57,944/- instead of the esti
mated

At the moment it is doubtful whether the political
arrangement was intended to include oversides delivery
of cargo within the Port Limits, and a legal decision
on that point is being sought. If the yew is taken that
any craft may avail itself of the amenities of the port
without paying any dues at all, then such oversides delive
ries will occur to a greater extent that at present, and
the result will be the loss to Bahrain of its two per cent
re-export duty, and also the concurrent Import Yard charges.
It will be noticed that the collections from pearling
licenses exceed the estimation by Rs 16,650/- This result
is not due to under-estimation; but it will be remembered
that the collections for the year 1349 A.H. were less than
the estimate by Rs 13,968/-. This was because many licen
ses were renewed later than was expected, and owing to the
movement of the Muhammadan calendar, the actual receipts
fell into the year under report instead of 1349.
The receipts from craft registrations show a slight
gain over the estimate; but this does not so much imply
that more craft are registered than formerly, only that
a number of registered owners delayed their renewals, and
consequently had to pay ten
rupees
