The Khadi & Village Industries Commission, established under an Act of Parliament in 1956, actually predates its own statutory footing with this 1955 hundi — issued under the earlier All India Khadi and Village Industries Board, the transitional body it replaced. A hundi is a traditional South Asian instrument of credit with roots stretching back centuries before colonial banking formalized such transactions; the KVIC's use of the format was a deliberate ideological choice, tying Gandhian economic self-sufficiency to indigenous financial instruments rather than Western-style banknotes.
These were redeemable against khadi cloth purchases, not general currency. Surviving examples are uncommon; most were exchanged and destroyed through normal redemption.
