Rift in Parsi Punchayet over rented charity flat

The Free Press Journal - Mumbai

|

November 28, 2025

A dispute among trustees of the Bombay Parsi Punchayet (BPP) over the allotment of a rented charity flat in Godrej Baug on Nepean Sea Road to the son of a President award-winning former assistant commissioner of police has become a matter of debate in Mumbai's Parsi community.

- Manoj Ramakrishnan

Three of the six trustees from the seven-member BPP rejected the application for a flat by the policeman's son, noting that the applicant is currently not a resident of India and could have an income exceeding the eligibility limit for a subsidised rental flat in the community housing estate. One trustee was absent at the meeting, but three others voted in favour of the allotment, resulting in a draw. The board approved the allotment after the chairman of the trust, Viraf Mehta, exercised his casting vote in favor.
