Abstract: Bank documents from 1955 to 1962 for the “Central Flood Relief Fund for East Pakistan” account maintained at Habib Bank’s Bunder Road Branch, Karachi. Balance confirmations show substantial credit balances ranging from Rs. 2.78 million (1955) to over Rs. 15.87 million (1958), with interest credits and signed verifications. The account is linked to Flag Staff House, Karachi – Miss Fatima Jinnah’s residence.

Description: The documents include multiple balance confirmation forms (Habib Bank Form C.D. 104) requesting signature verification of the account’s credit balance as of various dates. The 30 June 1955 balance is Rs. 2,782,202/8/6; 31 December 1957 shows Rs. 4,586,920/15/4; 31 December 1958 shows Rs. 13,874,015/4; and 30 June 1962 shows Rs. 13,88,545/96. Interest credits of Rs. 50, Rs. 250, Rs. 2,500, and others are noted. A separate credit advice (page 8) appears to be from a different account (Bholal Food Hotel). The consistent address of “Flag Staff House, Karachi” confirms Miss Fatima Jinnah’s role in managing this major flood relief fund for East Pakistan. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
