Calcutta High Court appoints special officer after TMC accounts frozen

India Jul 09, 2026

The Calcutta High Court has stepped in after three Trinamool Congress (TMC) bank accounts were frozen last month over allegations they held illegal funds.
To keep the party running, a special officer will now oversee TMC's daily expenses.

Subrata Talukdar oversees TMC spending

Retired judge Subrata Talukdar is handling TMC's spending, with court-approved limits for basic operations and legal costs (plus his own monthly fee) until September 30.
He'll need to report all expenses, and banks must keep detailed records.
Meanwhile, police will update the court on their investigation at the next hearing on September 21, as TMC also waits for a big decision from the Election Commission about its leadership.
