Financial records

These papers comprise records representing some of the aspects of the financial business of the Indian Workers Association, but because of the date range of the surviving accounts, are likely to provide only a partial view of the financial situation of the group since its establishment. Most of the financial papers date from the 1960s, with a small number from the 1970s and 1980s. Other fragmentary financial records dating from the 1980s and early 1990s are described at MS 2142/A/1/1/2: Papers of Avtar Jouhl and the Indian Workers Association

The papers consist of statements of the accounts kept by the national Indian Workers Association; details of income and expenditure kept by both the national Indian Workers Association and by the secretary of the Birmingham branch; statements of accounts of the Birmingham branch of the organisation; invoices and receipts relating to specific expenses incurred by the national association and the Birmingham branch; and partial accounts of Lalkar, the newspaper of the Indian Workers Association
