- If the actual strength of any rank exceeds the sanctioned scale in any district and the excess cannot be adjusted against vacancies in the next higher rank, the Superintendent shall report the circumstances to the Deputy Inspector-General, who shall either adjust the excess against deficiencies in other districts of his Range or, if this is not possible, report the facts to the Inspector-General. The Inspector-General is authorised to sanction any excess in a district scale provided that the provincial scale is not exceeded.
