399. Principles to be observed in granting rewards.
- The informer should ordinarily get the largest share; the next largest should go to the head of the force making the detection, except where lengthly and intricate detective enquiries have to be undertaken, in which case the responsible officer may get the largest share. The Superintendent of Excise while recommending reward should carefully scrutinize the part played by each officer or outsider. Consolidated rewards should be granted where more than one cases are detected as a result of one and the same raid. In all proposals for distribution of rewards, the claims of the police on account of service rendered by them should be recognized as fully as those of subordinates of the Excise Department.
