Extra-ordinary General Body Meeting held on 1-12-2013

Date: 5th Dec., 2013

To,
The Chairman,
MIG Cricket Club,
Bandra – East, Mumbai

Dear Sir,
Re. Extra-ordinary General Body Meeting held on 1-12-2013

This has reference to your SMS received yesterday wrongly claiming that the Annual Accounts of 2010-2011 were unanimously passed.

I had raised specific objections on certain issues that I had requested to put on records. Many people had said ‘No’ for passing of the accounts but the decent seem to be not taken into account. The points raised by me were:

1)      Invalidity of the passing of Annual Accounts by EOGM when it needs to be on the Agenda of AGM as per Clause 4.8 of the Club’s constitution

2)      a)         I have provided a proof of a receipt dated 30-12-1994 for Rs. 14,000 issued towards Ordinary Membership of the Club but that person’s name is not in the list of the members.

b)        This shows that the membership records are incorrect even since 1994. There may be many such instances.

c)         Thus, the Members Account including the corpus account need to be thoroughly investigated and certified by the Club’s statutory Auditors.

d)        Thus, all the subsequent year’s accounts are wrong as we do not even know whether the annual membership fee from that person is ever collected.

e)         This case is only as an example with solid proof and should form a basis for further investigation as I had claimed in the meeting.

3)      Without prejudice to the point no. (1) above, whether the accounts of 2010-11 are different than those put before the last AGM of the Club? If not what purpose is achieved in rejecting it earlier and then passing it? If they are different, no differences were pointed to the members.

4)      This has become a very disturbing precedent where AGM is bypassed for passing of Annual Accounts. The Office of the Charity Commissioner may reject the accounts and refuse to accept it unless approved by the AGM of the Club.

I am writing this letter to put my stand on record and request to record by dissent for passing of the accounts otherwise claimed as passed unanimously.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

Deepa Tidke
