Military club tokens issued in paper form were common across British India during the Second World War, particularly where coinage shortages made small-denomination transactions awkward in mess and canteen settings. Tezpur, in Assam, was a significant RAF and Army base during the Burma campaign — the town sat close enough to the front that conventional banking infrastructure was unreliable and coin supply genuinely disrupted.
These club chits functioned as internal scrip, redeemable only within the issuing establishment. Survival rate is low; most were redeemed and discarded rather than preserved.
