Section 29 in Indian Merchant Shipping (Seamen's Employment Office, Calcutta) Rules, 1954
29. All shipowners seeking to engage seamen at Calcutta shall furnish to the Director indents for the various categories of seamen in respect of specific ships as soon as such requirements become known and, in any case, not less than fifteen days in advance of the date when the seamen are actually required. In urgent cases, the Director may, in relaxation of the preceding requirement, accept such indents from the shipowners at shorter notice.
