BACKGROUNDER
Khadi Hundis were issued as promissory notes and were used as an exchange medium for khadi cloth. They could only be redeemed at a KHADI BHANDAR (hand woven cloth outlets). Several colours and designs have been seen, a sample of which are shown above.

These issues also commemorate Mahatma Ghandi for his dedication to poor women who spun Khadi cloth to improve their lives.

The issues with overprinted seals are unlisted in the South Asian Coins and Paper Money catalog but are thought to be genuine. Information is needed about their purpose.

Any additional scans and information about these historic issues would be appreciated.
