9. Those Who Cant Afford to Sacrifice Hazrat Khalifatul Masih IV (RA) (Friday sermon of Sep 10, 1982)

10. Preparing the Budgets Hazrat Khalifatul Masih V said: "Budget should be prepared at grassroots level; not that one just sits at home and prepares it." Hazur-e-Anwer said: "Chanda/donation should be according to one's income. Anyone who does not show his income, he should be asked to give in writing that he can afford to pay only that much chanda, and is unable to pay more than that." Hazur-e-Anwer said: "Do not pester anyone, and do not put so much pressure that he may end up telling a lie."

11. Preparing the Budgets If someone does not pay Chanda at all or according to the prescribed rate or does not provide the true budget then it does not mean that he/she earns less or does not earn at all. So presidents should provide true actual or assessed budget properly documenting everything. If local presidents are concerned that at the end of the year they won't be able to meet the budget they should know that truth must prevail no matter what and secondly the problem is not just local. If You are worried about your numbers for one chapter think about how much more challenging we r making it at the Center by asking 70+ chapters to report true budgets, because by doing that, our efforts for meeting the budgets would have to be doubled.

12. Discussion Topics Please share your experiences in preparing accurate budgets and encouraging members to pay Chanda properly What challenges do you face? How do you address those challenges?
