Description: A form letter from Honorary Secretary M. Raschid acknowledges receipt of institutional applications and advises that matters are under committee consideration. A second letter, dated 14 July 1956, urgently requests that Raschid (in his personal capacity) sign a certificate for expenditures totaling Rs. 16,447-4-6 incurred under his supervision, as vouchers and stamped receipts are needed for audit regularization. A detailed table presents 29 institutional grant applications from multiple districts, showing amounts requested (ranging from Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 50,000) and amounts proposed for sanction (mostly Rs. 500-600, with one Rs. 2,000 grant). Three military payment rolls document disbursements from the East Pakistan Flood - 1955 fund to soldiers: one to Havildar Abdul Ghafoor in Rawalpindi (Rs. 25), two payments to sepoys in Comilla Cantonment (totaling Rs. 45), and a detailed roll of ten soldiers in Comilla receiving amounts from Rs. 30 to Rs. 55, with recipient signatures.
