M.A. Jinnah -- Muhammad Ali Jinnah -- Invoices | Payment Request -- Bombay Municipality -- Vehicle Tax | Commercial Transactions -- Shil Chand & Co. -- Laffans (India) Limited -- 1942 | Financial Documents

This file contains a series of financial and municipal documents from 1942-1943 associated with M.A. Jinnah. The records include a pressing request for payment from a commercial firm and detailed, multi-page challan statements from a supplier, which appear to be duplicates or successive pages from the same order ledger. Complementing these are official tax bills from the Bombay Municipality for a motor car registered to him. This collection underscores the blend of high-stakes political leadership with the mundane yet essential aspects of managing business accounts and complying with civic duties, reflecting the multifaceted responsibilities Jinnah navigated during the early 1940s.

Abstract: This file contains six pages of personal appeals and staff welfare requests addressed to the Regional Flood Relief Committee and Fatima Jinnah Relief Fund. A 3rd-year M.B.B.S. student (Dacca Medical College) requests a stipend or lump-sum grant, citing loss of father, poor family income, and flood-related crop failures (certificate attached). A former British India Steam Navigation Co. employee (21 years service) describes losing Rs. 4,100 in cash and belongings during Calcutta riots (April 8, 1950) and seeks relief for his family of 9 members after repeated failed appeals to government. A girl student from Nazira Baazar Girls Madrasah requests financial help to continue her education, noting flood, cyclone, and family illness.
