The account shall be prepared in duplicate, one copy being forwarded to the Indian office of exchange, and the other through the General Post Office, Berne, to the Financial Secretary, India Office, London, for payment by bill of exchange on Berne, if the balance be in favour of Switzerland, and with payment by bill of exchange on London if the balance be in favour of India. In the case of payment to Switzerland the bill of exchange on Berne shall be for an amount in Swiss currency equivalent, at the current rate of exchange, to the balance in sterling money stated in the account.

XXVI. Each office shall have authority to suspend temporarily the exchange of money orders, in case the course of exchange, or any other circumstance, shall give rise to abuses, or cause detriment to the revenue.

XXVII. For ordinary correspondence, affecting the preparation, transmission, or correction of lists, accounts, &c., the offices of exchange shall be the medium; but in matters involving questions other than detail the offices of correspondence shall be the General Post Office, Berne, on the one hand, and the office of the Controller-General of Accounts, Money Order Department, Calcutta, on the other hand.

XXVIII. The Department charged with the control of money orders in either country shall have authority to adopt any additional rules (if not repugnant to the foregoing) for the greater security against fraud, or for the better working of the system generally. All such additional rules, however, shall be communicated by the one Department to the other.

XXIX. The present Arrangement shall take effect on the 1st October, 1875. It shall then continue in force until one year after the date at which one of the Contracting Parties shall have notified the other of its intention to terminate it.
