Issuing officers will be either Forest Officers including persons specially appointed for the purpose (e.g., gumastas), or village officers specially authorised. They will either receive a fixed monthly salary, or a commission on the monthly amounts collected or on the value of the permits purchased by them. District Forest Officers and Conservators are authorized to sanction the payment of commission up to a maximum of 61A and 12-1/2 per cent, respectively. Higher rates of commission require the sanction of the Chief Conservator of Forests.
