Requested increase in Grant amount[edit]

Hello,

Due to some changes in Abdeali's schedule, we had to rebook his flight from Hyderabad to Chennai, instead of our original tickets from Hyderabad to Delhi. Since the latter were non-refundable, so we ended up overshooting our proposed budget by some amount.

The final budget, after accounting for all the expenses, now comes out to INR 36009. Please approve the same.

Thank you.

Hi Soni, we understand that last minute changes can cause an increase in your budget. In the future, you can request up to 10% of the total amount requests as contingency to cover this kind of expense, or other costs like banking and wire transfer fees. Your request for an increase is approved. We look forward to hearing about the event. --KHarold (WMF) (talk) 19:52, 27 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
