The estimated amounts in 1920-21 are 13,S52,lo0f. and 735.S001. respec- tively. There was also a capital charge of 100, 000,UO0J. in 1917-18, representing India's financial contribution to the war, which was met partly by making over to the British Government the proceeds of the Indian war loans raised in 1917 and 1918, and partly by taking over a portion of the British Government's war debt.
