Dear Members,<\/p>\n

I believe that the time has come for me to share matters relating to the alarming state of our finances. \u00a0As of now our debt burden is nearly Rs. One Crore. But before I dwell on this in detail, let me give a little background of events.<\/p>\n

As you know in my last letter to the members I had informed all of you that ever since this Managing Committee was elected al financial decisions have been taken by the Secretary General and a small coterie around him. All matters relating to accounts are kept under his strict control and all expenditures have been authorized by him. However, following the furor after the bid to privatize the Press Club a hurried meeting of the Managing Committee was called on July 4th 2009. Here it was decided that I would oversee financial matters of the Club. On July 7th 2009 I called a meeting of the accounts staff to ascertain as to what was the actual status of the financial health of the Club was as the Committee had decided to ask me to go through the papers. What I found was alarming and I have decided to share it with the all the members. <\/p>\n

As I have mentioned before our debt burden is around Rs One crore and we have overdrawn over Rs 5 lakhs from the bank. Here what is important is that we have defaulted on essential payments like Provident Fund, ESI, Electricity, rental etc. <\/p>\n

Why has this happened? This sorry state of affairs has come about because no control over expenditure has been followed and my orders to the account staff has either been overruled or flouted. For instance, I had ordered that we cannot under law allow any cash transaction of more than Rs.5000 per day. But cash far in excess of this amount has been paid to vendors time and time again. Payments (against my orders) have been made on improper bills (kucha bills) in cash. No purchase sanction register has been maintained. Full details of payments made are not provided to the accounts department. The Accounts department also has no record of the new members that have been made. No money has been earned from the Media centre even though we charge members from its use. I could go on and on with this saga of mismanagement, but I will reserve the rest for the EGM.<\/p>\n

Before I end, I would like to point out two other anomalies. Some services of the Club have already been privatized. Some months ago all catering for the upstairs hall that we give on hire has been handed over to a private caterer and this was done without any approval from the Managing Committee. What is more shocking is that this Caterer has been receiving payments in cash which is a gross violation of all rules and regulations.<\/p>\n

Finally, I would like to say that to save this Club from further disaster an emergency EGM be called where all of us can find out ways and means to bring the Club out of its current mess.<\/p>\n
