The rate revision, done after eight years, has not gone down well with the cops, who said it was still way too less and that many times they have to pay for inmates' meals and tea from their own pockets

A recent Government Resolution (GR) has left a bad taste in the mouths of police personnel — issued on October 12, the GR hikes food allowance for undertrials in police custody to R100 a day from the earlier Rs 50.
As per the new GR, food allowance for accused in police custody in Mumbai and other police units within municipal corporation limits will be Rs 100, while in areas where there is no municipal corporation the rate will be Rs 80, up from the earlier Rs 40.
