Abstract: A set of standard income tax documents from the mid‑1950s. Includes a notice of demand under Section 29 of the Income‑tax Act, 1922 (for a person named Mohan Ram Rana, with a note “Fake Certificate”), a notice under Sections 22(2) and 3 requiring a return of income (addressed to William F. Ewing), multiple notices under Section 34 for escaped or under‑assessed income (addressed to various names including Mrs. Fatima Gowal and Malhotra), and one Urdu‑script page headed “Mohterma Miss Fatima Jinnah, Flag Staff House, Karachi” with columns for sources of income and amounts. The documents appear to be a mixture of blank forms, partially filled specimens, and one personal tax record.

Description: The earliest document (21 May 1955) is a notice under Section 34 of the Indian Income‑tax Act, 1922, addressed to “Mrs. Fatima Gowal” – possibly a misspelling or a different person – proposing to reassess escaped income for the year ending 31 March 1955. Another notice (21 May 1956) under Section 22(2) requires William F. Ewing to file a return within 35 days. A notice of demand under Section 29 (26 February 1957) threatens penalty under Section 46(1) for non‑payment. One page (13) is a handwritten Urdu form titled “Mohterma Miss Fatima Jinnah” with the address “Flag Staff House, Karachi”, listing different sources of income (e.g., “گلاء” – grain?) and amounts, indicating this may be a personal income tax calculation or return for Miss Jinnah. The other pages are either blank templates or notices addressed to third parties, suggesting they are part of a larger file of income tax forms and correspondence.
