| Comments |
The Government of India series issued through this period was produced under the Currency Notes Ordinance framework, with Thomas De La Rue handling the London printing — a relationship that dated back decades and reflected British colonial fiscal administration rather than any technical limitation of Indian presses. The Reserve Bank of India was not established until 1935, meaning notes issued in the early part of this range bore the Government of India's direct authority, while later examples from 1935 onward overlapped with the transitional period before RBI assumed currency management in 1937.
P#A8 is catalogued as a scarce type. High-denomination colonial notes of this period were disproportionately cancelled and destroyed after withdrawal, which accounts for the survival gap.
