estimated that a 15?5 reduction of the rate for all
classes of connections would reduce the revenue of
the system from &.59,516/- (revenue for 1934-35)
to Rs#50 ♦ 589/- f and as the annual recurring expendi
ture involved is Rs.44,617/- only there would still
he a small surplus. But this would still leave
the rent of direct connections unduly high. The
majority of the connections are direct connections
whose existing rate of rental is ^.400/- per annum
and a 15# reduction would give the subscribers
relief to the extent of Rs.60/- per annum. There
are also a number of extensions many of which
might be converted to direct connections if the
rate for the latter were lower than at present.
The Government of India therefore consider^ it
preferable to adopt the second alternative and make
a somewhat larger reduction of rent for the direct
connections, extending the benefit of the reduction
to the two Junction lines to the Royal Air Force
Private Branch exchange. (Junction lines to such
exchanges are treated in India as direct exchange
connections).
