About this stamp

On the Stamp

The two stamps printed side by side: a hand dropping a coin into a savings pot, with a Kisan Vikas Patra certificate behind (₹6), and the golden jubilee emblem above a stream, a house and green fields (₹5).

Golden Jubilee of the National Savings Organisation

India Post issued a se-tenant pair, at ₹5 and ₹6, on 30 June 1998 for the golden jubilee of the National Savings Organisation. The ₹6 stamp shows a Kisan Vikas Patra, one of the savings certificates sold through post offices: a scheme India Post first launched in 1988, closed in 2011 and relaunched in 2014. India Post’s brochure for this issue is not online, so this text draws on Wikipedia and on the stamp itself.
