It is seen that some of our learned members are asking some clarification regarding disbursement of financial aid from our Association. Being Secretary General I want to clarify everything here.
1. We have a bulk SMS system and through the system we asked everyone to submit their applications through whattsapp for FA.
2. As an additional measure it was also widely circulated in various social media including FB and Whattsapp groups.
3.We asked the following informations from the applicants.

A.Name and Permanent address with membership no of the association.
B.If reside in rented house address of the rented house in Guwahati.
C.If married name of the spouse and profession of the spouse.
D.If unmarried whether any of the parent is a govt employee.
E.Whether practising under any senior, if so under whom practising.
F.Bank Account No with IFSC code with the name of Bank and Branch.
4.Further it was also clearly mentioned ...
" it is an one time measure to give some support to the junior members of the association (below 5 years of practice) who are actually suffering due to lockdown to fight the COVID 19 pandemic with the limited funds of the Association.Therefor, the Executive committee, only after considering the afforesaid facts , will grant the aid and deposit the amount in the respective Account no's of the needy members of the Association. Applications must send before 21/04/2020."

5. We have received some 146/147 applications through whattsapp. On scrutiny it is seen that 30/31 applicants are not our members. About 19/20 applicants are either permanent resident of Guwahati or above 5 years of practice. So their cases were not considered at that moment.
5. On our appeal some of our learned members and Hon'ble ex Judges voluntarily donate some amount to our Welfare fund. But most of them asked not to disclose their names and hence we are not disclosing their names. The total amount received by us is approximately Rs 2 lakhs. Yes, due to lockdown we couldn't approach to many of our well-wishers. If anyone want to donate voluntarily to the Association we can collect it now also.

6. Further, we are discussing to provide some more help to our needy members introducing a loan facility from the association if the present system continues even after 19/07/2020.
