Commenti	The Government of India 1 Rupee notes issued during the Second World War were not produced by the Reserve Bank of India — the rupee note, as a fractional currency instrument rather than a banknote proper, remained under direct government issue throughout the colonial period and into independence. The 1944 date places this squarely within wartime production, when paper quality and printing volumes were both under pressure from the demands of the Burma campaign and broader Indo-Pacific logistics. George VI's name appears on the series following the 1936 accession, replacing the Edward VIII notes that never made it to full issue. The P#25 series ran with minimal design changes across several years, making precise dating dependent almost entirely on signature combinations of the Finance Secretary.
