Abstract: This file contains official documents related to the Khatoon-i-Pakistan Education and Welfare Board from 1953 to 1956. A Government of Pakistan Ministry of Finance notification (13 March 1953) approves the Board for income tax exemption under section 15D of the Income Tax Act, 1922. A letter from the Board’s Honorary Secretary (28 March 1953) to Miss Fatima Jinnah encloses the registration certificate and the tax exemption notification, and notes that a current account has been opened at Habib Bank Ltd., Victoria Road, Karachi. A letter from Miss Fatima Jinnah (President) to the Pakistan Employees Cooperative Housing Society (4 April 1953) requests allotment of 12–15 acres of land for a model girls’ high school with playgrounds, hostel, and kindergarten. Meeting notices for 2 July 1956 (with agenda: confirmation of minutes, review of activities, proposal to take over Muslim Women Industrial Home and Technical Institute) are included.
