Dear Members, السلام عليكم
On behalf of the Executive Committee, which took over on 15th November 2025, I wish to inform the membership of key matters addressed and long-pending issues successfully resolved.
It is pertinent to inform the membership that, at the time of assumption of office by the incumbent Executive Committee, there were three operational bank accounts, namely with Bank Al Baraka, Allied Bank Limited, and United Bank Limited, having balances of Rs. 214,411/-, Rs. 212,057/-, and Rs. 40,000/- respectively. These accounts subsequently became inoperative due to the change in authorized signatories following the transition of the Executive Committee, and due to a restraining complaint filed by a member, Capt. (Rtd) Amjad Zia Malik, before the Registrar Joint Stock Companies.
After a fact-based presentation and due persuasion before the Registrar Joint Stock Companies, PALPA successfully obtained a renewed registration certificate.
