Interest on Reserve.
The amount shown in the estimate for 1361 included the
interest due on the reserve ard the interest for six npnths
(second half oi 13bl) on Rs # 9,80,000/- whieh I had anticipated
would be added to the reserve in 1361. It was not possible
to invest this amount during 1361 owing to the state having to
purchase foodstuffs. In 1362 the interest due 6n the existing
reserve was shown in the budget.
Other Keceluls and -axes .
In 1360 no revenue was expected from "Medical Receipts".
In 1361 I assumed that this source of revenue would produce
x".5,000/-, twice this amount was obtained. In 1362 I have
anticipated an income of {Is. 55,000/- from hospital fees, the
greater proportion being on acount of service in-patients who
occupy the two service wards in the State hospital. Bridge
tolls were not included in the 1360 budget. In 1361 I assumed
that Fo.30,000/- would be forthcoming from this source, and a
similar sum in 1362. The variations in estimates of the other
sources or revenue such as Court fe s. Passport Receipts, Rents
etc. are not considerable. A sum of Rs.13,000/- was included in
the 1362 Budget under Sales of Lands. Negotiations were
proceeding for the sale of a piece of land to the Royal Air. Force
and I assumed that this sum would be forthcoming.
The total anticipated revenue for the three years was,
1360, Rs.35,64,000; 1361,R s .37,00,000/ t and 1362,R?.36,57,000/-
Expenditure .
Total estimated exp^ iw iture in the three years, 1360,
1361 and 1362 was Rs.35,64,000, Rs.37,00,000 and Rs.36,57,000
respectively.

About this item

Content

This file contains Bahrain government budget reports and other detailed financial records for the years 1941 to 1948. The documents in the file include details of goverment revenue and expenditure and discussion related to the size of the allowances received by the Al Khalifa family.

Of note are folios 41 and 42, on which financial details from 1943/44 have been printed on the reverse of two unrelated posters - presumably due to a paper shortage during war time.
