Sources: the banks' own deposit summaries dated 7 September 2026 and Sobha's corpus statement. Account numbers are not published.

Two figures are being reconciled. The accountant's statements show ₹3.81 crore in HDFC deposits; the bank's own summary on 7 September shows ₹3.20 crore. And Sobha's ledger shows about ₹75 lakh of the corpus held, against ₹90 lakh in the books, because Sobha sets its unpaid bills off against the balance. The figures on this page are the banks' and Sobha's. Both differences will be explained in the meeting pack.

How ₹11.76 crore became ₹9.33 Cr

Jun 2022
₹11.76 Cr collected by Sobha at handover. For sixteen months Sobha ran the estate from it: ₹1.88 Cr charged, ₹1.17 Cr of interest credited.
Nov 2023 – Jun 2024
Sobha returned ₹9.30 Cr in nine instalments. It went into fixed deposits at HDFC and ICICI. Sobha kept ₹91 L as security for its facility service.
2024–25 and 2025–26
Interest was spent on running costs. In 2025–26, ₹50 L of principal was also used, without General Body approval.
Today
₹9.33 Cr, of which ₹8.58 Cr is in bank deposits. A full bridge from the audited accounts will be in the meeting pack.

Going to the meeting

  1. Interest is income. Principal is not. Principal is not withdrawn without a General Body resolution. Every withdrawal is reported here the month it happens.
  2. Three signatures or five MC signatures for every deposit movement.
  3. A monthly deposit statement on these pages, from the banks, not from the books.
  4. A sinking fund from next year, so the ₹50 L used is rebuilt and the big repairs of the next ten years have a plan.
