Abstract: This file contains a variety of financial and administrative documents related to the Muslim Women’s Industrial Home and the Muslim Ladies Technical & Industrial Institute in Karachi, spanning 1956 to 1961. A letter from Athar Brothers (contractors) offers painting, distemper, colour wash, and polishing services to Miss Fatima Jinnah’s institution, with detailed per‑square‑foot rates. An itemised estimate (likely from Ayob Haji Siddick) lists repair work including wall scraping, colour wash, oil painting, spunger iron jaffry, cement jaffry, kitchen construction, and W.C. repairs, totalling several thousand rupees. Financial statements from Ahmed B. Khan & Co. (auditors) for the year ended March 1957 show total receipts of Rs. 26,237/13/5 (including fees, sale of articles, and amounts from Begum Luqman) and payments.

Description: This file contains a mixed collection of financial and administrative records from the Muslim Women’s Industrial Home and the Muslim Ladies Technical & Industrial Institute in Karachi, dated between 1956 and 1961. The documents include a contractor’s letter offering painting services for Miss Fatima Jinnah’s institution, a detailed repair estimate for the building, audited financial statements for the year ending March 1957 (showing receipts of over Rs. 26,000 and payments including salaries and repairs), statistical summaries of monthly income, and a 1961 letter applying for a maintenance grant‑in‑aid. The records illustrate the financial operations, infrastructure maintenance, and government grant applications of these post‑Partition women’s vocational institutions patronised by Miss Fatima Jinnah. A Cyrillic page and several fragmented ledger pages appear to be unrelated or misfiled. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
