Lodge Al-Ameen No. 1412 was chartered on 7 February 1946 in Mumbai under the Grand Lodge of Scotland, with His Highness Sir Sayed Raza Ali Khan, Nawab of Rampur, enrolled as its first founding member, as recorded on Lodge Al-Ameen's website.

The lodge transferred its warrant from Mumbai to Bengaluru in 2010, where it continues to meet as the only lodge working under the Scottish Constitution in that city, as recorded on Lodge Al-Ameen's website.

The site also details broader regional history under the Scottish jurisdiction, noting that in 1932, the Grand Lodge of All Scottish Freemasonry in India installed Dr Sir Temulji Nariman, an eighty-five-year-old Parsi physician of Bombay, as its first Indian Grand Master, who served in that role until his death in 1938, as recorded in an article on Lodge Al-Ameen's website.
