Abstract: Bank records from 1954 to 1965 for two accounts linked to Miss Fatima Jinnah: “Miss Fatima Jinnah Women’s Relief Committee” (account No. 8131) and “Muslim Women’s Industrial Home” (account No. 3801) at Habib Bank’s Bunder Road Branch, Karachi. Balance confirmations show credit balances ranging from Rs. 17,895 to Rs. 95,000, with interest credits noted. A credit advice records realization of a cheque for over Rs. 1.3 million. The accounts were operated from Flag Staff House.

Description: The documents consist of printed Habib Bank balance confirmation forms (C.D. 104) addressed to Miss Fatima Jinnah at Flag Staff House, Staff Lines, Karachi. A 30 June 1954 letter for the Women’s Relief Committee shows a credit balance of Rs. 20,180/6 with interest credited Rs. 25/3. A 31 December 1955 confirmation for the Muslim Women’s Industrial Home shows Rs. 23,902/4. Another 31 December 1955 confirmation for the Women’s Relief Committee shows Rs. 17,895/8/6. A credit advice (undated) records a realized amount of Rs. 1,326,813? (the figure is faint). A 1 December 1960 confirmation shows a balance of Rs. 95,000, but the signed reply indicates Rs. 2,500 (possibly a different account or error). A 28 June 1964 letter reports a balance of Rs. 2,500, and a 30 June 1965 confirmation shows Rs. 24,590/67 (approximately Rs. 24,590.67). These documents illustrate the financial management of women’s welfare committees under Miss Jinnah’s auspices. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
