Housing, Messes & Clubs

Housing

Whenever possible, married soldiers are allowed to live in married quarters. Those allowed to live out are granted rent, ration and travelling allowance.

Private procurement of houses through Government-sponsored schemes are arranged by the Force from time to time.

Messes and Clubs

There are messes and clubs which provide social and recreational activities for their members and their families. These institutions are run by persons selected from among the membership but the Commanding Officer of the Unit under which the mess or club falls is the trustee.

These institutions are sustained by subscriptions, profits made from certain sales and by profits made by fund-raising functions. Profits are kept to a necessary minimum.
