It will be unfair to call it cheating, however -
1)Chapter is having 1.5 Lack+ Rupees in existing account.
And what do you think could be done by that HUGE AMOUNT of 1.5+ Indian
Rupees?
I think chapter has its office in Bangalore and based on my experience, I
know that any property requires paying off few bills, e.g. electricity,
water, property tax, tel/internet (if it has got) and these things are
not
so cheap in Today's India as they were in my days of teen (20 years ago).
2)Major Chapter Expenses such as Flight Tickets for AGM are covered by
CIS.
I qlways thought WMIN and CIS were two
seperate entities and their
finances are dealt seperately. Will love you elaborating more on this.
I am waiting for someone to answer simple query -
How much money is
required for next year activities? and Which activities are
planned?
I don't think this is a simple query Abhishek. Have you seen chapter
website? I'll strongly recomend you visit it. There is a link to Grants
page in navigation menu. If you visit that page, you'll realise that
chapter has funded several activities carried out by communities. Do you
think will it be possible for chapter to tell you today that how many
grant
requests it is going to get this year? How much ammount will it be
requested from various communities? Or do you suggest chapter decide a
figure today and put a cap on grants and other expenses once that amount
is
used?
This is just one example, don't take it as "the only expense" of chapter.

India Chapter is also strong (financially) like other Chapters.

Interesting isn't it? That one should have timed that A2K bulletin to

deliberately
done, don't you think?
