AMUSING SUBSTITUTE FOR A STAMP
1902 FOUR ANNA OIL PRINTING USED IN KISHANGARH
In this case the employee of the Stamp Duty Office needed to add an extra four annas charge,
but there were no stamps available at the time, for some unknown reason.
As a substitute, he drew an outline of a stamp, to the left of the seal and wrote in Hindi:
TICKET CHAR ANNAS
Which translates as
FOUR ANNAS EXTRA PAID
5
