The Commissioner Income Tax,


Company Circle,
I – 8 Markaz,
Islamabad

Subject: Tax Exemption for Friends of Literacy and Mass Education (FLAME)

Dear Sir,

Our replies to Income Tax Department queries regarding Rule (213) (1) (g) (h) (i) of
the Income Tax Rules, 2002, are as follows:

(213) (1) (g)


The accounts of FLAME are kept in scheduled banks, i.e., PICIC Commercial Bank
Limited.

(213) (1) (h)


No changes are made in the Memorandum & Articles of Association, By-Laws of
FLAME without the prior approvalof the Commissioner (Income Tax).

(213) (1) (i)


Surplus funds of the organization above 25% of its budgeted expenditure were kept in
Six Months Short Term Deposit of the PICIC Commercial Bank because of the need
to encash the same as and when required to meet the unexpected expenditure for the
opening of new schools and vocational training centers. This kind of encashment
facility is not available in case of Government Securities. However, we will comply
with this condition as and when we have enough surplus.

Thanking You

Yours Faithfully

Ambassador ® Mansoor Alam


Chairman - FLAME
