Colvin was educated at Windlesham House School, Charterhouse and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. He was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the British Indian Army in January 1904. Colvin remained on active service with the 117th Mahrattas regiment until July 1908, when he was appointed personal assistant to the Resident, Hyderabad. He was appointed a political officer in the Indian Political Department of the British Raj in February 1912 and promoted agent to the Governor-General in Central India, June, 1915.

In February 1924, Colvin was appointed adviser to the Maharaja of Rewa, which was considered "foreign service" by the Indian Political Department; then, in April 1930, was appointed officiating (i.e. acting) Resident, Gwalior, and officiating political agent, Eastern Rajputana States. In the aftermath of communal violence in Kashmir, Hari Singh, the Maharajah, was forced to ask the British Indian government to dispatch troops to the state to quell the rebellion. Lt.-Col. Colvin was chosen as prime minister of Kashmir State in March 1932 and reappointed in March 1935 to give British India more influence in the princely state.
