If you are looking records for British personnel who served in the Indian Army , either officers whose service ended after April 1922 or soldiers whose service ended after January 1921, and there is no record in the series "Indian Army Records of Service IOR/L/MIL/14/239/1-72481", or at the National Archives of India, (refer above for both these sources), you could try contacting the Army Personnel Centre Historical Disclosures Section, whose details are set out in the article [[British Army#Army personnel serving after January 1921|British Army-Army personnel serving after January 1921]]. This is not a confirmed source, but some other British Army records include British officers from the Indian Army. '''Note''': Refer comment under British Library records above that generally there will not be files for officers who retired, as officer papers were presented to them on retirement.
===FamilySearch [LDS ] Microfilms===
''Indian Army List''s are available as Familysearch, previously known as LDS , microfilms, possibly for the period only to 1888 and appear in the [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=778871 LDS FamilySearch catalogue] as ''An East-India register and directory''. It is possible that the publications from 1889 only contain the Civil Service List, and not the Army List, but this is not known. (The LDS FamilySearch catalogue also has an [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=578082&disp=The+India+Office+list%2C+1886%2D1940&columns=*,0,0 military records entry] for "The India Office list, 1886-1940 : containing an account of the services of the officers in the Indian service and other information" available on microfiche. It seems likely that that these are in fact catalogued incorrectly and are not military records, as the ''India Office Lists'' for 1924 and 1929, (see [[Directories online]]) do not appear to contain an ''Indian Army List'')
A limited number of additional [[LDSFamilySearch]] (Mormon) microfilms are available in respect of the Indian Army: [https://familysearch.org/catalog/search Search the LDS FamilySearch Library catalogue] using keywords “Indian Army” and “India Office” ([[FamilySearch Centres#Ordering microfilms|Ordering microfilms]]).
