of any claims registered in respect of property in Greece belonging to persons
in India and to institutions established in India.
4. The Government of Greece shall make arrangements for the verification
of all particulars supplied to them under paragraph 2 by the Government
of India and shall in due course inform the Custodian which of the items included
in the return of monies and other properties held on behalf of persons in
Greece were registered in the names of German or Japanese nationals, or
nationals of any other State with which the Government of India may for the
time being be at war or was at war on the 31st December 1945.
5. The monies referred to in paragraph 2 which are certified by the Government
of Greece to be free from enemy interest shall be transferred en bloc
to that Government. As far as other properties are concerned the Custodian
of Enemy Property shall release such properties in each case on receipt of a
request to that effect from the Government of Greece accompanied by a certificate
that no enemy interest is involved in the said properties.
6. The Government of Greece hereby agree to indemnify the Custodian
against any claims from any sources whatever in regard to all monies paid over
to that Government and all property, including securities, released by him to
that Government or to persons resident in Greece at that Government's request.

of monies which have not been deposited with him by the debtors in
India or which have been so deposited but which were released to the owners
before the coming into force of this Agreement. In so far as such monies are
due to institutions established in Greece which, in the opinion of the Government
of India, are not owned by German or Japanese nationals, or nationals of
any other State with which Government of India may for the time being be at
war or was at war on the 31st December 1945, the Custodian undertakes, however,
to assist the Government of Greece to the best of his ability with the collection
of such monies as should have been paid but were not thus paid.
