Abstract: This collection from 1942-1943 consists of commercial and municipal documents addressed to M.A. Jinnah. It features a letter from Laffans (India) Limited urgently requesting payment via cheque to retire a heavy draft, alongside extensive, repetitive order and challan records from Shil Chand & Co. detailing the tender, acceptance, and rejection of goods. The file also includes Bombay Municipality tax bills for Jinnah's motor car (No. 811 W 58 23) for the 1942-1943 fiscal year.

Description: 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.
