Matlab chits.

'Chits' are a whole different ball game. Chits are mainly used in messes and canteens. Its like a fauji credit card.

Chits are way of showing courtesy or saying thank you also. If a barber did a good cut of the last 100 hair left on top of your head, either give a him a 1 x Tea chit or he can also blatantly ask you ,"sir chai ki chit to de den". Other contenders can include medical staff, bearers, duty staff or drill staff (at a very later stage) etc.

On the flip side, write a chit of someone else's name and get caught - go back home.

That can help in rare circumstances (read: rare, not common).

Saw a cadet get relegated by writing someone else's name chit. His plea was that he suspected that certain cadet was writing chits of his name so as revenge he wrote chits of other guys name and got caught. The Panel decided relegation, not withdrawal. Cadet was a bright fellow, top of his class, an Alamgirian and son of some general.

Anyways, him being an alamgirian brought disgrace to all alamgirians. At one point in time, i thought that PA is made up of 50-60% alamgirians, rest are from civil colleges or very few abdalians, petarians etc. So it became very convenient for us non- alamgirians to point this matter out when they would tell their hot shot stories. Alamgirians were good help too in cadet life, they would know whats going to happen next and how to get out of a sticky situation.

But eventually, since a "disgracer" was pointed out and if anybody seeing us non-alamgrians standing and chatting with alamgirians would very excitedly ask us, "Sir aap bhi alamgiarian hain?" . The reply was, " Bhai gaali to na do"
