What the government order records

The order states that an earlier Rs. 50 per month cash grant had been sanctioned in August 1901 to supplement income from the Inam village of Suraguppe. It describes the institution’s expenses associated with pilgrims and worshippers.

After considering a further representation, the government sanctioned an additional Rs. 50 per month with effect from 1 July 1908. The proceeding also discusses accounting arrangements and registration of the additional grant in the institution’s name.

Important distinction: The Rs. 50 discussed in the 1907–1908 sanction was additional to the earlier Rs. 50 monthly grant. The document should not be read as saying that the first-ever grant began in 1908.

Inam revenue, expenditure and administration

The proceedings connect the cash allowance to questions about Inam income, the maintenance of the institution and the costs of receiving pilgrims. They also distinguish the institution’s grant from claims made about an individual Sajjada’s personal expenses. These administrative observations should be read in their historical context, not treated as a determination of present-day ownership or title.

The final pages in the supplied PDF include a proceeding cover dated 21 December 1907, providing a useful companion reference to the printed order itself.
