(India, historical) A deputy.
British Royal Navy slang for an accountant or paymaster — the officer responsible for crew wages and financial records aboard a ship. 'Paybob' has an affectionate, slightly irreverent tone that reflects naval lower-deck culture's habit of nicknaming every rank and role. It is largely a historical term associated with the Royal Navy's administrative culture from the 19th through mid-20th century, though it may still be used informally in some naval circles.
(India, obsolete) A military paymaster.
(India, historical) A kind of half-disciplined infantry soldier under some of the native governments; also at one time a kind of militia under the British, receiving this honorary title as being gentlemen volunteers.
