The first Hundi receipt of 1901/02, used later in 1910 from Poonjar to Nattakom

Hundi (money order) receipt used in 1910 from Poonjar to Nattakom. 

Shown here is the earliest Hundi watermarked receipt form printed in Malayalam used from 1901-'02. Not recorded in Dr N S Mooss's book of Travancore.

The Hundi receipt format presumably changed from 1910 onwards (shown page bottom). 

Type 1...1901/02 to 1910

 

Shortened version, from 1910 onwards, probably to save paper.

Interesting to note that the receipt has changed to bilingual from the vernacular language of Malayalam. 

Type 2...1910 onwards bilingual.

Type 3.. 1940 onwards..in English. 

a) Elongated type 

b)Small size.

For comparison of different type & size..of different time zones.
