Opmerkingen

The Twelve Year National Defence Certificates were introduced in 1962 as savings instruments rather than currency — technically government bonds in note form, sold at a discount and redeemable at face value after twelve years. The timing was not coincidental: the Sino-Indian War of October–November 1962 created an urgent political need to mobilize domestic capital, and these certificates were part of that emergency fiscal response.

The India Security Press at Nasik Road had been printing currency and stamps since 1928, so the production infrastructure was already in place. What made this series unusual was its hybrid nature — treated as a security document rather than a banknote, yet physically indistinguishable from one to most holders.
