British postal orders of this period were printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. in New Romney, Kent, and issued through the General Post Office in London. The "India Overprint" designation refers to notes overprinted for use within the Indian postal system, which operated under British administration but maintained its own accounting structures — revenue from postal orders had to be reconciled between the two administrations, hence the need for a distinguishable instrument rather than simply circulating standard domestic stock.
The 1935 date places this squarely in the period when Indian postal orders were transitioning toward locally-issued instruments, making overprinted British stock increasingly short-lived in circulation.
