Administrative System of the Marathas c9.17

c9.17

If an assignment or *varat* is made in any one's favour and there is any delay in making it good, the Chitnis should write reminders, (requesting) the officers (concerned) to pay the money in accordance with the terms of the assignment. If an assignment is made of one hundred Rupees and there is a shortage of money in the Mahal (concerned), and a fresh assignment of fifty Rupees out of the entire sum has to be made, it will be done by the Fadnis. If an assignment of one hundred Rupees is once made, and if it is returned, and a fresh grant has to be made, the document is to be drawn up by the Chitnis. If any correction is to be made about the sum, (literally if the sum is either more or less), the letters will be written by the Fadnis.
