Abstract: Letters from Quaid‑e‑Azam M.A. Jinnah to The Bank of India Ltd., Karachi (August‑September 1947), enclosing a dividend warrant for Rs. 4,125 (26 August), a demand draft for Rs. 5,00,000 (26 August), and a dividend warrant for Rs. 1,078 (4 September) for credit to his current account. The bank acknowledges the Rs. 1,078 warrant and reports a credit balance of Rs. 5,20,681/14/0. A separate letter from the bank to his secretary encloses two paying‑in‑slip books and a completed passbook.

Description: The collection includes three letters from Quaid‑e‑Azam Jinnah (dated 26 August 1947 and 4 September 1947) to the Agent of The Bank of India Ltd., Karachi, requesting credit of funds to his current account. The enclosures are: a dividend warrant of Rs. 4,125, a demand draft of Rs. 5,00,000 (both 26 August), and a dividend warrant of Rs. 1,078 (4 September). The bank’s response (4 September 1947) acknowledges receipt of the Rs. 1,078 warrant and states the current account credit balance as Rs. 5,20,681/14/0. A final letter (undated but likely around same period) from the bank to K.H. Khurshid (Jinnah’s secretary) encloses two paying‑in‑slip books and a completed passbook for the account. These documents illustrate the financial transactions of Pakistan’s founder just weeks after independence. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
